Temperature Control Unit MB103
The Temperature Control Unit was developed for the use in air-insulated electric transformers, also commonly known as resin or dry type. It is also easily adapts for the use in oil transformer. MB 103 units use PT 100 temperature probes for constant monitoring of transformer temperatures at 4 points: 3 on the transformer winding columns + 1 on the machine's magnetic circuit. If the transformer malfunctions, causing its temperature to rise, the MB 103 unit generates an electric alarm signal. If the temperature reaches danger levels the unit generates a 2nd intervention level. This can be connected to a machine immobilizer that functions independently of alarms. A cooling system control program is also implemented in the unit.
Software is designed so that any temperature malfunction is recognized, stored and a simple and clear signal is generated so that the machine operator knows how to intervene.
Two temperature control alarm levels are provided:
- To signal any probe breakdown
- For control of cooling fan system
A simple and flexible program is used to set thresholds and determine functions to be enacted and is able to set alarm levels and control for all channels either independently or in groups.
It is divided into two sections:
- A simplified section that includes the most common values and permits quick setting of parameters that are common for all channels
- A complex section that is used to change all programming parameters.
A reset function is also installed, bringing all parameters back to defaults. The 19 LEDs plus the display enable MB 103 temperature control units to clearly signal and control all information on the temperature status of the equipment being protected. |
