Description

IRISS Thermo-Clip - Direct thermal monitoring in electrical connections

Visual detection of overheating, no need to open electrical cabinets

Thermo-Clip is an innovative thermochromic solution designed to monitor the temperature of exposed electrical connections (such as busbars, screws, terminals or joints) in a simple, cost-effective and non-contact way.
Thanks to its color-changing technology, it provides an immediate visual alert for thermal anomalies, facilitating quick interventions and avoiding critical failures.

How does Thermo-Clip work?

It is a thermochromic polymer clip that clips directly onto conductive metal components.
When the temperature reaches higher than normal values, the Thermo-Clip changes color, indicating possible overheating. The change is reversible and occurs progressively as the temperature rises or falls.

Key benefits

Instant installation: It is fixed with a single gesture, without the need for tools or adhesives.
Safe and continuous inspection: Allows visual monitoring from the outside, without having to dismantle the installation.
Saves time in revisions: Ideal for integration into preventive maintenance rounds without thermal camera.
Early detection of electrical faults: Helps avoid costly shutdowns due to loose or deteriorated connections.
Compatible with critical installations: Suitable for switchboards, motor control centers, substations or photovoltaic installations.

A smart solution for your predictive maintenance strategy

Thermo-Clip is ideal for installations where constant thermal monitoring is needed but periodic thermography is not always feasible. By adding this visible clip to critical electrical connections, the maintenance team can easily detect if something is wrong, even without being a specialist.

*Installation: Thermo ClipTM Series Clips are designed to be push fitted only onto the outer insulation of a cable, adjacent (15mm-30mm distance) to its connection terminal. Thermo ClipTM should not be inserted anywhere into the current carrying path of the circuit or directly attached to bare live metal parts of the circuit.
*Caution: Thermo ClipTM Series are designed for use on electrical cables and as such installation must be assessed by a competent electrician licensed to applicable local requirements prior to their application.
