Exertherm
Exertherm is the World No.1 for 24x7 Thermal Condition Monitoring. Our solution is specifically designed to provide continuous thermal monitoring LV Switchgear, utilising our IR Sensors to monitor busbar joints and our EM Cable Sensors for cable terminations.
We protect your electrical assets from costly outages while increasing safety via remotely monitoring equipment, increasing asset integrity and minimizing downtime.
Protect your electrical infrastructure with Exertherm 24x7 Thermal Condition Monitoring. Our IR Sensor is the only non-contact, non-powered solution permanently installed inside the panel!
Exertherm enables the following critical LV bus and cable terminations to be monitored simultaneously and in real-time.
Why 24x7 Thermal Condition Monitoring?
- A high percentage of existing electrical infrastructure is currently greater than 25 years old
- Monitoring critical assets less than 1% of available time via periodic inspection methods leaves a huge reliance on luck
- A rise in temperature is the main symptom of a faulty joint or connection
- Just one power outage would cost more than installing 24x7 Thermal Monitoring
- Condition monitoring enables fault detection & trend analysis of temperature data 24x7 x 365 days
- 24x7 Thermal Monitoring removes people from risk and increases facility safety
Why Exertherm?
- World No.1 Thermal Condition Monitoring Solution with Proven Reliability
- Zero Maintenance & Lifetime Guarantee on Sensors
- Complete Thermal Monitoring Solution for LV/MV Bus, Cable, MCC + TX
- Sensors providing accurate data of uniform quality are a key part of the IIOT jigsaw - no sensors = no data
- Wireless sensors pose a potential hacking threat to critical infrastructure. Exertherm is hardwired, and thus avoids any potential hacking issues.
- Exertherm solutions are accepted & have been successfully installed in major projects globally by all major OEMs
