MODULAR TEMPERATURE MEASURE-

MENT SYSTEM WITH DIRECT DISPLAY.
Continually monitoring oil and winding temperatures is one of the most important
steps to ensure the functional capability and operational readiness of distribution
and power transformers.

The requirements for a good transformer thermometer are

the same anywhere in the world: robust, durable technology,
functional reliability and accuracy, low-maintenance and able
to withstand both shaking and vibrations. Ideally, a transformer
thermometer should outlive the service life of the transformer,
preferably without readjustments or recalibrations. The MESSKO®
COMPACT thermometer is equipped with an integrated 4...20 mA
output as well as a CT current input.

Measuring and controlling for over 100 years

MESSKO® thermometers are shaped by over 100 years of ex-
perience in temperature monitoring. Based on this experience,
the MESSKO® COMPACT temperature measurement system was
specially developed for use in distribution and power transfor-
mers. The product range is used for monitoring both oil and
winding temperatures.

The centerpiece: the Bourdon spring

The MESSKO® COMPACT indicator thermometer is based on
Bourdon technology. The centerpiece of this principle is the
Additional products
Bourdon spring, which is fully manufactured by the know-how
holding company in Oberursel, Germany. In addition to this
spring, the temperature sensor, the capillary tube and, of course, MESSKO® TRASY2

Furthermore, the indicator thermometer – which works auto-
nomously and has its own energy supply – can perform various
switching tasks (e.g. cooling system control, alarm, trip) thanks MESSKO® BeTech

Two strong technologies – from a single source
Aside from the Bourdon principle, expansion bellows technology
has developed over decades to become the second generic MESSKO® MTeC EPT303
thermometer technology. MESSKO customers benefit from being Digital temperature

While the MESSKO® COMPACT and TRASY2 series both feature
Bourdon technology, the MESSKO® BeTech thermometer works
on the basis of the expansion bellows principle.
