Minco's Single Element RTDs, specifically the part number S3CA60K344Z197, are designed for monitoring temperature in stator windings of motors and generators. These RTDs feature sensing elements that extend through most of the body length, providing average temperature readings and reducing the risk of missing localized hot spots. They are recognized by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) as a standard for motor and generator insulation protection, offering continuous sensing capabilities that allow for early warnings of overheating. The RTDs are available in two temperature classes: Class F with a limit of 155°C (311°F) and Class H with a limit of 180°C (356°F). The body material varies accordingly, with Class F using epoxy glass and Class H utilizing high-temperature epoxy glass. Additionally, they have a dielectric strength of 3200 VRMS at 60 Hz, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. For optimal performance, it is recommended to install six sensors per motor, with two sensors per phase located near the hottest points of the windings. Custom design options are also available for specialized applications.
Minco single element RTDs feature sensing elements extending through most of the RTD body length. They also feature stranded copper lead wires with PTFE insulation and are available in a variety of standard lengths and thicknesses. These Class H RTDs feature a high temperature epoxy glass body.
