The market leading Series 852 WTI’s continuously calculate the winding temperature (otherwise known as the hot spot) in the transformer and display the hottest winding. The 852-013 OTI calculates and displays the oil temperature.
The extensive range includes alarm relay output, data logging, expired life, wide range of CT inputs, 1, 2, or 3 winding versions, dual display and an intelligent cooling control system with ‘deviation from normal’ alarms to ensure optimal asset life and protection for the transformer.
