Hot Spot Detection for Electrical Connections

PyrOptic is a temperature alarm 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
  • Engineering solution, hierarchy of control 
  • 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 ​​
  • Robust, operation based on thermal expansion of an inert material
Simple
  • PyrOnodes are applied to electrical connections
  • A plastic optical fibre is threaded through these to form an optical loop
  • A relay monitors the optical continuity of this loop
  • A PyrOnode cuts the plastic optical fibre to signal an alarm condition if the connection temperature exceeds acceptable limits.​
