01 The Problem

The Risk

Low-voltage panels and generator-output busbars handle currents up to 10,000A.

Detection Gap

Loose connections cause temperature rise — at best a burn-out, at worst a short-circuit catastrophe. Conventional infrared requires shutdown and panel opening.

02 The OctosX Solution

Sensor & Edge

Thermalpas M-TYPE patches adhere directly to all three phases (R/S/T) without drilling.

Cloud Logic & Alerting

OctosX Cloud sets alarm at 90°C, pushes alerts to control-room dashboard, and writes a long-term trend log.

03 The Outcome

Field Detection

Since 2015, three units at Mingtan have operated 10 years without a single thermal incident.

Quantified Impact

Taipower's maintenance crew now reviews OctosX trend reports quarterly instead of conducting monthly thermal-imaging inspections — 70% reduction in labor.
