of Fluoroptic® Hot Spot Monitoring Products in China
TBEA Transformer Industrial Group, Chinas largest manufacturer of transformers, and Luxtron Corporation, the worlds leading maker of fiber optic hot spot monitoring systems, have signed an agreement for exclusive distribution of Luxtrons Fluoroptic® products, including the WTS-22 and ThermAsset® monitors, for the China electric power utility market.
(PRWEB) July 8, 2005 -- TBEA Transformer Industrial Group, Chinas largest manufacturer of transformers, and Luxtron Corporation, the worlds leading maker of fiber optic hot spot monitoring systems, have signed an agreement for exclusive distribution of Luxtrons FluoropticŪ products, including the WTS-22 and ThermAsset® monitors, for the China electric power utility market. In addition to distribution rights, TBEA plans to integrate Luxtrons fiber optic hot spot monitoring systems into its own transformers.
We were impressed deeply by Luxtrons product after visiting Luxtron Corporation in Santa Clara, CA USA," stated Mr. Ye Jun, General Manager of TBEA. We are very pleased to establish the long-term cooperation relationship with Luxtron. We will integrate Luxtrons fiber optic hot spot monitoring systems into our own transformers and provide the most reliable products to our Chinese customers. We will also give this project our attention to develop and introduce this worldwide advanced technology and products to Chinese electrical power field."
Adds Edwin Oh, Luxtrons CEO, We are very pleased to establish this partnership with TBEA. TBEA has the technical prowess and resources to ensure proper deployment of our FluoropticŪ fiber optic technologies into China and provide the necessary support to our Chinese utility customers. We are also honored to have been chosen to participate in the development of the world class T&D infrastructure being built in China."
Luxtron hot spot monitors enable direct, real time, accurate measurement of transformer winding temperature; providing valuable input to calibrate thermal models and enable dynamic load control. Unlike conventional winding temperature indicators that "infer" the hot spot by measuring top or bottom oil temperature, the drift-free, calibration-free nature inherent in the FluoropticŪ technology makes these systems ideally suited for use in transformers.
