Transformer Winding Hot Spot Monitoring
Transformer Winding Hot Spot Monitoring consists of fiber optic temperature sensors, temperature measurement host (demodulator), dedicated transmission optical cables, local display alarm units (optional), and upper computer monitoring software. It has high reliability, high insulation, and long-term stability, and is widely used in oil immersed power transformers of 110kV and above. It is an important intelligent means to ensure the safe operation of main equipment in the power grid.
Description

I. Product Introduction:
Transformer Winding Hot Spot Monitoring is a high-precision online monitoring device for direct, real-time measurement of internal winding hot spot temperatures. The system is based on fluorescence attenuation, FBG, or gallium nitride temperature measurement principles. Passive, insulated fiber optic sensors are embedded in key winding areas to accurately sense temperature via optical signals, completely unaffected by strong electromagnetic fields or oil interference. It truly reflects the hottest point temperature rise, avoiding the lag and errors of traditional top oil temperature methods, and significantly improves early warning for overheating and insulation aging risks. Its main functions include preventing winding thermal damage, supporting dynamic capacity expansion, optimizing condition-based maintenance, and meeting intelligent substation requirements for main equipment state perception.
II. Model Explanation

III.Product Details/Advantages:
- Direct and precise temperature measurement: Sensor directly embedded at winding hot spot, reflecting real temperature with ±0.5°C accuracy – far superior to indirect methods.
- Completely immune to EMI: All-fiber passive sensing technology unaffected by strong electric fields, magnetic fields, or lightning – ideal for high-voltage environments.
- High insulation & intrinsic safety: Metal-free, non-electrified sensor with high withstand voltage, compatible with transformer oil for long-term safe operation.
- Multi-channel real-time monitoring: Supports 8–24+ channels, simultaneously monitoring high/low voltage windings and interlayer hotspots.
- Smart integration & remote management: Supports IEC61850 and Modbus for seamless substation integration, remote data access, over-temperature alarms, and historical trend analysis.

XIV. FAQ
Q1. What is fluorescent fiber optic temperature measurement technology?
A1: It utilizes the precise relationship between the afterglow time of a fluorescent material after light excitation and its temperature for temperature measurement. It boasts strong anti-interference capabilities and good stability.
Q2. How are sensors installed?
A2: Recommended installation: Pre-embedded type: Directly fixed to the coil during winding manufacturing; or guided type: The sensor is inserted into the winding oil passage.
Q3. How many sensors are needed for a transformer?
A3: Depending on the winding structure and hotspot distribution, typically 1-2 sensors are installed at critical locations per phase, resulting in 6-12 sensors per transformer.
Q4. How is the optical fiber led out of the transformer?
A4: It is led out through a dedicated sealed optical fiber sleeve, ensuring the oil tank is completely sealed and leak-free.
Q5. What are the routine maintenance procedures for the system?
A5: Monthly check equipment status and communication; clean the optical fiber connectors annually; ensure the junction box is properly sealed.
