BriteSpot is a fiber optic temperature monitoring system that continuously logs temperatures in real-time at areas of concern, such as bus bars and circuit breakers. It provides comprehensive thermal monitoring to reduce downtime by detecting issues before failures occur. The system interfaces with control systems using MODBUS and logs data internally for retrieval later.
Introducing BriteSpot
- 1. BriteSpotTMTemperature Measurement System Introducing BriteSpotTM, the only solution for accurate and consistent recording of electrical temperatures at areas of concern in real-time. When mounted on bus bars, splices, circuit breaker disconnects or cable connections, you will know immediately if thermal concerns exist. This field-proven fiber-optic technology will continuously log temperature vs. time and allow for control and protection interface. In applications where reducing downtime is crucial and IR scanning may not just be enough, BriteSpotTM fills in the blanks by providing the most comprehensive indication of system health.Real-Time Thermal Monitoring

BriteSpotTMAn ultra-robust Conversion Module resides in any instrumentation compartment. Designed for ease of use and longevity, simply provide power and insert the three sensors.5. SCADA / HMIWith communication to the BriteSpotTM Conversion Module a plethora of information becomes available from which to make operational and maintenance-related decisions, all of which resulting in:DECREASED DOWNTIME + INCREASED RELAIBILITYAlarms: Set to trigger at predefined temperaturesTrending: Recognize problems BEFORE they occurMaintenance: Base service decisions on equipment health2. Optical FiberMade of advanced polymers, the specialty optical fiber boasts many features making it electrically invisible and therefore ideally suited for applications up to 38 kV:High dielectric strength Impervious to corrosionResistant to tracking1. Connection PointThe tip of the fiber sensor is quickly mounted at any critical bolted connection with an approved industry standard lug (included). Some common locations: a) Line finger stabs b) Load finger stabs c) Cable connections
