Para monitorear la temperatura de los bobinados y en los rodamientos se pueden usar diferentes tipos de dispositivos. La correcta identificación de los mismos es importante para determinar el tipo de  sensor en casos en los que el dispositivo es desconocido o para escoger el dispositivo correcto para una determinada aplicación.

Winding RTDs are resistance-based temperature monitoring devices. Aside from just reporting winding temperature, here are some tips for maximizing the benefit of RTDs.

Regardless of the method used to detect winding temperature, the total, or hot spot, temperature is the real limit; and the lower it is, the better. Don’t let excessive heat kill your motors before their time.

This manual covers horizontal and vertical squirrel-cage induction motors in the 300 to 5,000 horsepower range, low- and medium-voltage. Most of the principles covered apply to other sizes as well. This manual focuses primarily on IEC motors and standards.

This presentation addresses the topic of a various temperature sensing devices including RTDs, thermostats, thermocouples and thermistors. The advantages of each and the proper application will be covered.

Thermistors, derived from the term thermally sensitive resistors, are a very accurate and cost effective method for measuring temperature. Thermistors are usually two-terminal semiconductor devices made from semi-conductor materials that have an electrical resistance that varies non-linearly with temperature. Some materials provide better stability while others have higher resistance ranges and are fabricated into smaller thermistors. Each specificthermistor has its own unique resistance versus temperature characteristic. 

This presentation provides an overview of ambient, winding temperature rise, and winding temperature, and addresses detectors for measuring winding temperature, namely thermostats, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples and thermistors.

Often during the rebuild and overhaul of a piece of electrical apparatus, we are faced with the challenge to identify the type of temperature detection devices that need to be replaced.Types of temperature detectors discussed include: Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) Thermocouples Thermistors Thermostats

When we mention temperature detectors for motors we usually think of winding temperature detectors. However, temperature detectors can also be used to monitor bearings and airflow. In this article we will describe the more common types of temperature detectors and how they can be applied to windings, bearings and to check ventilation (airflow).
