Digitize critical electrical assets
Exertherm ensures robust and secure communication of temperature data without the risk of signal interference or cybersecurity threats.
Exertherm’s sensors provide a direct and continuous view of critical joints or terminations, measuring Delta T (temperature rise over ambient) from within the switchgear enclosure.
Continuous thermal monitoring allows for the early detection of potential issues, reduce unexpected failures and enhancing the overall reliability and safety of electrical systems.
The rising demand for the digitization of mission critical electrical assets and the increasing need for reliable power supply has driven organizations to explore and invest in technologies and solutions that enhance asset reliability. Mission-critical electrical assets are typically found in data centers, manufacturing plants, power distribution networks, and the energy industry. These assets require constant monitoring to help operators prevent failures, optimize performance, and extend their lifespan. The need to ensure asset reliability, personnel safety and operational efficiency is paramount.
A shift from periodic
maintenance
The evolution of technologies such as Exertherm's Continuous Thermal Monitoring (CTM) sensors have revolutionized the way mission critical electrical assets are monitored and maintained. Traditional periodic maintenance approaches are no longer sufficient in today's fast-paced and sustainability-demanding environments.
Exertherm's CTM solutions stand out from competitive technologies as a result of our continuous innovation in the thermal monitoring space. CTM sensors have made a significant impact on the electrical asset management landscape, with global adoption by some of the largest organizations in the world as they strive to do more with less infrastructure.
Exertherm’s innovative CTM technology sets itself apart from competitors in the ever-evolving space of electrical asset management with numerous cutting-edge benefits that include:
Sensor placement – contactless sensors
One of the standout features of Exertherm’s technology is the use of contactless infrared sensors. Unlike many other sensors in the market that attach directly to conductors, Exertherm’s sensors do not make contact with any conductors. This design choice is crucial for several reasons:

Sensor communication – wired sensors
Exertherm’s sensors are hard-wired, a significant advantage over the wireless alternatives commonly found in the market. Here’s why this matters:
Elimination of antenna requirements
Wireless sensors often require multiple antennas to align RF fields correctly, with transmission distances typically limited to around 30cm under ideal conditions. Exertherm’s hard-wired sensors eliminate the need for antennas, ensuring consistent and reliable communication.
Enhanced
security
Wireless sensors pose a cybersecurity risk due to potential hacking vulnerabilities. By opting for hard-wired sensors, Exertherm ensures robust and secure communication without the risk of signal interference or cybersecurity threats.
Reliable data
transmission
Wireless sensors can suffer from compromised signals due to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues. Exertherm’s hard-wired solution guarantees reliable data transmission, free from such interferences.
Sensor powering – non powered sensors
Another significant advantage of Exertherm’s sensors is their ability to operate without an external power source. This feature offers several benefits:

More accurate data via Delta T measurement
Exertherm’s sensors provide continuous measurement of critical joints or terminations, measuring Delta T (temperature rise over ambient) from within the switchgear enclosure. This approach offers several advantages:
Elimination of temperature correlation
Many sensors are limited due to only measuring the absolute temperature at the electrical joint. This can introduce the need for an additional ambient sensor, or temperature correlation, and Delta T calculations in a front-end system. Exertherm’s approach eliminates this, allowing for accurate alarm levels based on NETA guidelines.
Consistent and reliable data
By measuring Delta T directly, Exertherm’s sensors ensure consistent and reliable data across different panels and sites. This consistency is crucial for accurate monitoring and maintenance of electrical systems.
