Pt-100 Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and Bearing Temperature Detectors (BTDs) are Platinum sensors which have a linear Resistance – Temperature characteristic. Due to this linear characteristic, the Pt-100 sensors are used for temperature measurement and control alongwith a temperature indicator or a temperature controller.
The RTDs are used widely to monitor the winding temperature of Electric Motors and Generators (Alternators). Due to their various sizes the RTDs can be placed directly in the motor winding overhang or can be fitted in the slots.
The BTDs can be mounted on the Motor / Generator bearing housings by providing suitable tapped holes.
Features. - Customized designs and enclosures: - RTDs are available in various dimensions from small overhang type > sensors to Slot type RTDs. The BTDs are > manufactured as per customer requirements (in SS, HA Aluminium etc.)
- Various lead lengths and colour codes of wires can be supplied.
- Various wire systems like 2-wire / 3-wire / 4-wire RTDs are available.
- Ex-stock delivery of standard models.
Applications.
- Electric Motors
