LumaSense Introduces the New m924 Utility Module for Winding Hot Spot Transformer Monitoring Applications

Utility Module, designed for real-time Transformer Winding Hot Spot and temperature monitoring between -30 and 200 °C. The module is specifically designed and optimized for Transformer System Monitoring providers and Transformer Manufacturers wanting to use LUXTRON Fluoroptic®  DipTip and Quality fiber optic temperature probes, cables, and Tank Wall Plates in their equipment.

The LUXTRON m924 Utility Module is a single printed circuit board (PCB) offering four channels that can be included in a transformer monitoring system. The m924 Utility Module offers RS232 with ASCII and RS485 with Modbus digital output for integration with standard PC or SCADA systems. In addition, the m924 Utility Module is guaranteed to be backward compatible with the LUXTRON DipTip and Quality probes and LUXTRON accessories.

The LUXTRON m924 Utility Module is designed to directly monitor Winding Hot Spots. Unlike conventional winding temperature indicators (WTIs) that infer the hot-spot temperature, this module measures the winding hot spot accurately and in real-time without modeling. With instant results, controllers and pumps can act immediately, preventing transformer asset damage.

Leveraging LumaSense’s patented Fluoroptic® technology and designed to replace the LumaSense m600 Series Utility Modules, the m924 Utility Module provides better performance with improved manufacturing and modern architecture. When combined with the LUXTRON probes, the system provides precise and repeatable in-situ temperature measurements and control of processes involving RF, EMI, magnetic fields and high voltages, while the small form makes the module easy to integrate into existing equipment.

LumaSense is introducing the officially released LUXTRON m924 Utility Module into the market during the CIGRE Conference & Technical Exhibition in Paris, from August 26-31.
CIGRE, the Council on Large Electric Systems, is an international non-profit association consisting of over 3500 energy experts for promoting collaboration with colleagues from all around the world by sharing knowledge and joining forces to improve electric power systems of today and tomorrow.
