The Slot Resistance Thermometers detector (RTD) are used to measure winding temperature of large Motors, Generators etc. These sensor are sandwiched between the windings of Motors/Generators.
Unlike on/off devices, It allows continuous measurement of winding temperature. The NEMA recognizes this kind of sensor as a standard protection for motor and generator Insulation.
Normally, these RTDs are of wire wound and sensing element extends through out the length of the detector. These feature will provide average temperature reading. Normally six sensors are recommended for each motor, Two per Phase. This RTD are generally flat type in construction and are available in various sizes.
