Electrical failures are caused by a number of different factors, including:
Continuous thermal monitoring technology enables critical MV switchgear joints and busbar connections to be monitored in real-time.
Thermal monitoring locations include:
Eaton Exertherm CTM solution for MV switchgear provides an early warning of potentially compromised assets before they fail, causing unplanned facility outages. The MV switchgear solution provides protection from thermal asset changes where the eye can’t see and the hands can't reach. Our unique ‘fit and forget’ 24/7 electrical infrastructure monitoring technology gives you the peace of mind that your assets are running safely.
Eaton Exertherm CTM solution for MV switchgear is suitable for both new build and retro-fit installation, and also OEM vendor neutral.
Permanent installation
Permanently installed sensors for MV switchgear mean you can fit and forget, only needing to return when a potential issue is flagged up.
Cost efficient
Permanently installed, factory‑fitted or retrofittable, CTM sensors work around the clock and silently in the background.
Real-time data
Once installed our sensors work 24/7, 365 days a year to continuously monitor your critical electrical assets and provide condition data.
Lifetime guarantee
We're so confident with the resilience built into Eaton technology that we provide a lifetime guarantee on our sensor hardware.

Eaton's CTM solution provides an OEM-neutral approach to MV switchgear monitoring, delivering continuous visibility across the critical connections where thermal faults most commonly develop.
Suitable for both retrofit and new-build applications. It provides real-time insight into asset condition, enabling earlier fault detection, more informed maintenance planning, and safer maintenance practices through reduced interaction with energized equipment.
