Failure Prevention Through Automated Temperature Monitoring

Ensure safety and reliability of substations with the fully automated GRID-DETECT Substation Monitoring System from InfraTec. This system is designed specifically for accurate 24/7 monitoring of substation components to prevent dangerous component failure.

This system offers complete and comprehensive monitoring featuring both visible and infrared sensors, integrated into rugged protective enclosures and combined with a pan-tilt head. The powerful GRID-DETECT system software automatically triggers warnings and alarms if the user-defined temperature thresholds are breached.

The GRID-DETECT system allows for early detection of faults and preventative maintenance, reducing costs, failures and unplanned outages.
