This document provides guidance on best practice for the selection and installation of cables for fiber optic sensing in the power utilities domain. The RTTR cable monitoring system consists of a temperature measurement device, the Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), and our visualization and RTTR calculation software, a current interface for reading in the current data, an optical fiber for temperature measurement and network interfaces for. Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) measures temperature distribution over the length of an optical fiber cable using the fiber itself as the sensing element. Cost-effective continuous partial discharge monitoring for Switchgear and Transformers. Electromagnetic. Fiber optic temperature sensors are immune to the many environmental effects that compromise other measurement technologies, can be embedded and installed in locations traditional temperature sensors cannot and deliver an unprecedented level of spatial detail and data without sacrificing precision.
