High Voltage Temperature Sensor Design

Temperature sensors regularly go into some very unpleasant environments. Usually this involves chemicals, pressure, temperature extremes or high vibration. Recently we had an enquiry for Resistance Thermometers (Pt 100) to go into high voltage transformers. The probe specification included a test at 3600V AC for 1 minute.  Peak Sensors had very little experience of a high voltage temperature sensor.

The best designs come from collaborative efforts. Peak Sensors knew all the details about making and protecting the probe. The customer was familar with high voltages.

Insulation

The usual insulating polymers (PVC, PTFE, PFA Silicon Rubber) used with temperature sensors were not good enough insulators.… Read more

Original Equipment Temperature Sensors

Many equipment designers require temperature measurement inputs in Original Equipment they are creating. Demands for thermal control, overheat protection, temperature compensation, heater and cooler switching all require system signals.

 

Working with Original Equipment Designers.

 

Peak Sensor staff are never happier than when we are talking to a design engineer about a new application. Engineers know their product well. Peak Sensors staff know about sensors. Put the two together and great solutions can emerge.

 

Good sensor design identifies the balance between a number of conflicting parameters

 

  • Probe Cost
  • System cost
  • Robustness
  • Protection from ambient conditions
  • Speed of response
  • Process connection
  • Accuracy
  • Sensor lifetime
  • Subsequent assembly
  • Replacement

 

Peak Sensors has a long history of working with designers to create optimal solutions for original equipment.… Read more
