Evolution - Trafo Meets Display
Reliable
Reliability and safety - the most important attributes in generator and transformer technology. The Optocon AG developed for this purpose the fiber optic thermometer FOTEMPTrafo, that supports you effective in these areas. To ensure a constant and guaranteed operational safety, the temperatures are monitored at critical points in transformers and generators permanently.
In combination FOTEMPTrafo with the fiber optic temperature probe TSTrafo and the innovative measurement method, allows accurate and precise…
FOTEMPTrafo for smart grid temperature sensing in transformer
Power plants and grids are stretched to their limits. To ensure the operati¬onal safety, critical factors such as "Hot-Spots" inside high voltage transformers, power factor correction capacitors and alternators are monitored. Other possible capabilities are temperature measurement on high voltage distribution power lines such as for electric trains or in gas isolated power breakers and in power factor adjustment capacitors. Under such difficult and harsh environments conventional measurement systems…
Move of the Optocon AG in the year of its 20th anniversary
At the end of September Optocon AG moves to its new business headquarter at the Washingtonsstraße in Dresden. Due to an increasing demand for high-quality fiber optic measurement and because of the rising manpower as well as the economic growth of the company, the management of Optocon AG decided to prepare the next steps.
The new office and storage rooms impress by technically-advanced equipment, excellent infrastructural connection and modern comfort. This…

Safe temperature monitoring in transformer
Due to the growing demand of energy existing power plants and grids are stretched to their limits. To ensure operati¬onal safety, critical factors such as temperature have to be monitored in generators and transformers. High power generators are often filled with hydrogen in order to cool effectively. Besides the heavily contaminated electromagnetic environment the risk for explosions is high. Conventional measurement systems can not guarantee a reliable temperature monitoring. That…
UPGRADEABLE MULTICHANNEL FIBER OPTIC THERMOMETER - FOTEMPMK-19" MODULAR
The new fully upgradeable multichannel fiber optic temperature monitoring system FOTEMPMK-19" Modular by Optocon AG has a modern appearance and a high quality standard. It is smaller in size featuring a standard 3HE/19inch rack mount system. It supports a variety of variable measurement projects, because it is fully customizable on individual customer requirements. Exchange modules with different features are available any time and can be completed or replaced in a…
NANO MEETS TEMPERATURE SENSOR
FIBEROPTIC NANO TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND NANO-KIT
Fiber optic temperature sensors from different manufacturers typically use especially prepared fiberglass for temperature measurement. These fiber tips consist of gallium arsenide (GaAs) crystals.
This type of sensor is very expensive to produce and mechanically sensitive to impact.
The good news is: The fiber optic temperature sensors from Optocon AG are also available in a nano-powder version. Bound nano scaled GaAs powder adhesive, replaces the previous GaAs…
