Dynamic Ratings Introduces Patented Tap Position Sensor (TPS)  

Dynamic Ratings logo

  • MONITORING
  • CONTROL
  • COMMUNICATIONS

 

Learn about Dynamic Ratings Product Innovations in Booth #1630, including the new Patented  Tap Position Sensor (TPS).  Dynamic Ratings has introduced another leading edge technology to help electrical utilities improve reliability while reducing their cost!  Customers came to Dynamic Ratings a couple of years ago asking for us to apply our expertise in reliability to develop an LTC tap position sensor to address ongoing reliability problems for them. Historically, tap position  become unreliable due to oxidation which can lead to false position indication and reduce system reliability.

   

In response, the Dynamic Ratings engineering team developed, patented and is making available its TPS (Tap Position Sensor)!  TPS uses vacuum sealed reed switches to provide highly reliable position sensing without the potential of false indication caused by oxide build-up and without the need for complex electronic circuitry which can be prone to failure following electrical surges including lighting.
