Fluorescent fiber optic temperature monitoring systems based on GaAs sensing technology offer direct, en temps réel, and high-voltage-immune winding temperature measurement. In transformers, a Winding Temperature Indicator (WTI) is a crucial instrument for monitoring the temperature of the windings, which are the coils of insulated wire that carry electrical current. Traditional WTIs have been serving in the industry for a very long time but, they highly rely on. The technology used leverages fiber-optic sensors to provide real-time and accurate temperature measurements, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods such as RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and thermocouples, have limitations in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and susceptibility.
