Ice thickness sensor: Ice monitoring is more worry free

Ice accumulation on transmission lines refers to the phenomenon of ice formation caused by supercooled water temperature or continuous condensation of ice crystals on power lines under low temperature, rainy and snowy weather conditions. Ice accumulation on power lines has a significant impact on the operation of the power grid. When the ice accumulates to a certain extent, it can cause pole collapse, tower collapse, wire breakage, etc., resulting in damage to the power grid and interruption of power transmission, causing adverse effects. Given the enormous harm of wire icing, it is necessary for someone to constantly check the wiring in adverse weather conditions, but in some environments

In harsh places, personnel are unable to inspect, and this product is designed to solve this problem.

1、 Product Introduction

This ice accumulation sensor adopts microwave detection technology to monitor the icing information in the sensitive area of the sensor based on the difference in feedback information of different substances such as ice, water, and air from microwave signals. The icing thickness is calculated based on the strength of the signal and the distribution information of icing in the sensor area. This product is generally installed on power towers. By measuring the ice accumulation on this sensor, the current ice accumulation near the power tower can be equally determined.

2、 Technical indicators

1. Detection resolution: 0.01mm

2. Maximum measured thickness: 50.00mm

3. Communication method: RS485

4. Communication protocol: MobusRTU/automatic transmission

5. Working voltage: 5VDC

6. Working temperature: -40 ℃~85 ℃

7. Power:<1W (15W for ice melting device)

8. Protection level: IP67

3、 Main features

1. Can detect weather conditions such as ice thickness and rain.

2. Equipped with temperature detection sensors.

3. It can actively transmit measurement data at regular intervals and also support master-slave data transmission.

4. It has a defrosting function. When the power transmission line is defrosting, it can simultaneously send defrosting commands to this sensor (defrosting function requires a separate power supply of 12VDC, 12W).

5. Each device has a unique identification number, which should be used for communication in large-scale monitoring systems.

5、 Installation method

1. Generally, when using this sensor, a solar power generation system is required to supply power to the terminal system. This terminal is installed on a power tower that needs to monitor a certain transmission line in the line.

2. The terminal is equipped with a data remote transmission device. In order to accommodate wireless communication in remote areas, the local 2G mobile communication network is generally used. Users need to build their own servers and clients, or purchase software packages from our company or use our platform.
