Product Introduction
The Acrel ATE800 series RFID wireless temperature monitoring device can be used for temperature monitoring of metal parts such as busbar connection points, circuit breaker terminals, and cable lugs inside medium-voltage switchgear, featuring complete isolation, easy installation, strong anti-interference capability, and reliable operation.
The ATE800 series products consist of a receiver, an antenna, and a sensor. The ATC800 receiver transmits an RFID radio frequency signal to the ATE800 wireless temperature sensor via the antenna. After receiving the radio frequency energy, the sensor activates its circuit and begins to collect temperature data, transmitting the data back to the antenna via a wireless signal. The antenna transmits the data to the receiver through a radio frequency cable, and finally, the receiver can upload the data to a remote monitoring system.

Product Composition

Temperature measurement principle
The full name of RFID is Radio Frequency Identification, which is an automatic identification technology that uses radio waves for data exchange.
RFID temperature measurement technology is an innovative application combining RFID wireless identification technology with temperature sensing technology. Its core function is to read temperature data from RFID sensors installed at the temperature measurement point via a receiver, thereby achieving the temperature measurement function of the measurement point.
The main process is for the receiver to transmit a specific electromagnetic wave signal through an antenna. When the passive temperature sensor is within the RF field of the RFID receiver, the sensor's internal antenna receives the electromagnetic wave and converts it into the working voltage required by the internal temperature sensor, MCU, and RF chip, and the internal temperature sensor begins temperature acquisition. Then, the sensor packages the temperature data and its unique identifier (ID) into a data frame and transmits it to the receiver as an RF signal via the sensor antenna. After the receiver receives the RF signal feedback from the sensor, it demodulates and decodes it into a digital signal, extracting the sensor's unique identifier and temperature data.

Typical Case
This project involves temperature measurement of electrical contacts in the 10kV distribution system of Suzhou Rail Transit Lines 7 and 8. Line 7 is expected to commence initial operation in December 2024, with a light purple color as its signature color. It is 49.0 kilometers long and has a total of 38 stations, all of which are underground stations, using 6-car B-type trains. Line 8 is expected to start initial operation in September 2024. Its signature color is olive green. It is 36.84 kilometers long and has 29 stations, all of which are underground. It will use 6-car B-type trains.
For the safety temperature monitoring of high-voltage cabinets such as incoming line cabinets, section cabinets, busbar tie cabinets and outgoing line cabinets in the distribution rooms of Suzhou Metro Lines 7 and 8, wireless temperature measurement products are required. The temperature sensor adopts the inductive power supply type sensor ATE400, which is installed at 3 points of the cable joint line and 6 points of the vacuum circuit breaker moving contact. One temperature acquisition device ARTM-Pn is configured on each side of the cabinet.
