Over Temperature Alarm for Electrical Assemblies

PyrOptic is for the detection of failing electrical connections 

PyrOptic replaces thermal imaging and other routine inspection techniques with a safer and more effective solution. 
Safe
  • Eliminate inspection tasks that expose personnel to live parts and arc flash hazards​
  • Allocate resources to higher value tasks 
Reduce Risk
  • Low cost, widely distribute throughout electrical installations
  • Catch developing problems before expensive damage occurs
  • Provide continuous assurance over the assembly lifecycle ​​
  • Simple and robust, operation based on the phase change of an inert material
Simple
  • PyrOnodes are applied to electrical connections
  • A plastic optical fibre is inserted through the PyrOnodes to form an alarm detection loop
  • If the alarm temperature of a PyrOnode is exceeded, the optical loop is mechanically broken​
  • A loop monitoring relay automatically detects and signals an overtemperature condition
