Thermoclip

The ThermoClipTM Series serve as overtemperature indicators for electrical assets. Using a patented thermochromic technology, these easily-installed clips provide a color-changing visual indicator that work in tandem with the large format windows from IRISS as part of the visual component in the inspection process prior to and between infrared and ultrasound inspections. With a memory-effect feature, these non-conducive clips can also let inspectors see a permanent record of overtemperature excursions in intermittently loaded systems.

*Installation: ThermoClipTM Series Clips are designed to be push fitted only onto the outer insulation of a cable, adjacent (15mm-30mm distance) to its connection terminal. ThermoClipTM 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: ThermoClipTM 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.
