If it detects an anomaly, the sensor sends a notification immediately to a facility manager – via a smartphone or building management system, for example – giving them time to act before smoke appears or an electrical fire breaks out.
Schneider says that the tag is much more than a fire or smoke detector. It can issue a real-time warning before any smoke or insulator browning occurs. The HeatTag uses an AI (artificial intelligence) algorithm to differentiate internal cable issues from overheating, and sends an alarm via email or SMS. It can also trigger switchboard digital management functions.
The sensor can detect cable deterioration caused by:
• incorrect tightening of connections;
• excessive vibrations;
• surface damage caused by corrosion, pressure or friction; or
• fluctuations between low and high currents, or between cold nights and hot days.
