Current Leakage Sensors for  Transmission & Distribution insulators

Monitor insulator current leakage and other faults remotely with the worlds most energy efficient self managing sensors that call you when maintenance is needed

 

TPX Energy has developed the Pinpoint TPX-TRF RFID line of cost effective sensors that detects heat (a byproduct) of current leakage on contaminated insulators.

 

TPX Energy`s Pinpoint sensors are the first and only non invasive reactive RFID sensor solution for monitoring faulting distribution insulators, they alert you via wireless connection when the thermal threshold has been reached providing energy maintenance personnel exact time and location of fault within seconds

Why rely on thermo graphic imaging when you can monitor faults 24 hours a day without the need of any power.

FAQ’s

 

 

 

What types of faults can the Pinpoint sensors detect?

 

 

 

Faults identified include heat build-up from arching, cable degradation, convection heat cavatational steam, corona, current leakage, dielectric heat, eddy current, electrical shorts, failed windings, flashover, flash heat, friction, glow discharge, harmonic distortion, hysteresis, induction heating, lightning strikes, over current, partial arching, partial discharge, plasma, pole fires, pole top fires, resistance heating, radiant heat and surface tracking. 

 

Heat discharge is a by product of just about every known electrical fault, we cant tell you what type of fault your having, but we can tell you when, where and what you are having a problem with before it becomes a bigger problem. 

 

How do energy companies utilize the TPX Technology? 

 

Condition based monitoring of the distribution network is all about saturating assets in geographical areas that are prone to specific environmental faults.
