B100 Electronic Temperature Monitor (ETM)

Gauges are known to stick, subsequently leaving the transformer vulnerable. The B100 can replace up to five mechanical gauges. It has a robust design, and in the unlikely event that there is a problem, the device generates an alert, ensuring the problem can be corrected.

• Easy to install, no software is needed
• Easy to read, the LCD display can be seen from up to 60 feet and also can be read in bright sunlight or at night.
• Easy to configure either remotely or on site
• Easy to maintain

The cast aluminum, powder coated enclosure is designed to be rugged and durable to protect against harsh environments created by water, dirt, dust and temperature extremes. It is treated with a chromate conversion process that helps the B100 have a long life expectancy (20+ years), even in harsh environments. Additionally, no calibration is required to maintain accuracy.

The B100 Electronic Temperature Monitor display has anti-UV coating technology which means that even in bright, direct sunlight the display is easy to read and has good contrast.

Excessive moisture in the insulating paper of the windings will reduce the dielectric strength and also reduce the partial discharge inception voltage. As a result, the transformer is more susceptible to faults. By monitoring moisture as well as temperature values provided by the B100 ETM, customers can detect problematic conditions within the transformer far before a fault occurs.
