Sensors

Cooper Power Systems provides inexpensive, hardened sensors appropriate for original equipment or substation retrofit. These sensors can be used with any SCADA RTU and are available individually. Cooper sensors are designed for the severe environments of substations and gateways bridge sensor data to the substation communications system.

These sensors can be used with any SCADA RTU and are available a la carte.

	AC Current Sensor—Use the AC Current Status Sensor to monitor the presence of AC current in a conductor. Example applications include monitoring of transformer fan motors, oil pump motors, circuit breaker air compressor motors, spring charging motors, LTC mechanisms, and SF6 tank heaters.
	DC Current Sensor—Use the DC Current Initiate Sensor to monitor and indicate the initial rising edge of DC current in a conductor. Example applications include Sequence of Events (SOE) logging and timer applications for trip/close currents, relay operations, and breaker operations.
	TSS/TSA Temperature Sensors—Use model TSS Temperature Sensors to measure a device’s surface temperature. Typical applications include transformer LTC tanks and transformer main tanks. Use model TSA Temperature Sensors to measure ambient air temperatures.
	PS1 Pressure Sensor—The model PS1 Pressure Sensor is used to measure the pressure of enclosed gas systems. With fittings engineered for specific equipment, it can be used to measure the pressure of a transformer tank, SF6 insulating gas, or a pneumatic circuit breaker air tank.
	TSP Temperature Oil Probe—The model TSP Temperature Probe replaces a transformer’s existing top oil temperature indicator probe and provides a means to measure the discrete top oil temperature. The TSP can be connected to a Cooper Power Systems Oil temperature indicator (OTI), which replaces a traditional oil temperature indicator. Alternatively, the TSP can be connected to a standard whetted analog input to feed traditional SCADA.
	Oil Temperature Indicator (OTI)—Use in conjunction with the TSP to provide a local digital display of the oil temperature. OTI also contains programmable alarm contacts to be used for alarming or fans, and provides an analog output for use with SCADA or Visual Asset Monitoring.

The following Cooper Power Systems products are available for sensor data integration: SMP I/O and SMP Gateway.
