Richardson Electronics, a global provider of engineered solutions for renewable energy and other power management applications, has announced a new line of monitoring relays for the wind and renewables markets. The first of these to be launched are temperature and voltage monitoring relays to meet safety needs, as well as the performance of the critical turbine monitoring systems.
With the aging fleets of turbines and obsolescence of key voltage and temperature relays, the TurbineGuard™ Temperature Signal Relay and the TurbineGuard™ Voltage Signal Relay devices offer owner-operators visibility into their turbine systems and support winterization efforts to meet regulatory requirements. These products are fully compatible with GE turbines, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance. Both products have been meticulously designed and enhanced with the end user in mind, focusing on key features and meaningful improvements.
Key Features of TurbineGuard™ Temperature Signal Relay
- Temperature LCD Readout
- No rewiring required, same harnesses and connectors
