New gas and particle sensing technology detects cables overheating in LV equipment
Deteriorating cable connections in electrical systems continue to be a major cause of fires in buildings, resulting in damage to equipment, business downtime, and safety risks to personnel.
This paper introduces a cost-effective technology – ideally suited for low-voltage switchboards with large numbers of cables and connection points – that uses advanced gas and particle analysis to detect and alarm on cable overheating risks before equipment damage or fire can occur.
