For measuring the temperature of a high-voltage motor, such as those used in industrial applications, it’s important to follow safety protocols and proper wiring methods to ensure both accurate readings and safety. Here’s a basic guide to wiring for temperature measurement in a high-voltage motor:
1. Select the Right Temperature Sensor:
– Thermocouples: Common for high temperatures, can be used with high-voltage motorsCustom motor manufacturing. They provide a wide temperature range.
– RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors): They offer higher accuracy and stability than thermocouples, often used in precise motor temperature monitoring.
2. Wiring the Temperature Sensor:
– For Thermocouples:
– Use a thermocouple extension wire (usually made of the same material as the thermocouple) to connect the sensor to the measuring device. Ensure the wire insulation is rated for high-voltage environments.
– Connect the positive and negative leads to the thermocouple terminals on your measurement instrument (e.g., a temperature controller or PLC).
– Proper grounding of the thermocouple is crucial to avoid electrical interference.
– For RTDs:
– RTDs typically have 2, 3, or 4 wires. For accuracy, use a 3-wire or 4-wire configuration to reduce the effect of lead resistance.
– Connect the RTD’s leads to the input terminals of the temperature measurement device (like a PLC or temperature transmitter).
3. Isolating the Motor from the Measurement Circuit:
– Since the motor is high-voltage, isolate the measurement circuit using appropriate transformers or isolators to prevent electrical shock or damage to the measurement device.
4. Ensure Proper Grounding:
– Grounding is essential to avoid electrical noise or stray currents, especially in high-voltage environments.
– Use isolated sensors to protect the measurement equipment from voltage spikes.

– Connect the sensor leads to a temperature transmitter or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Ensure the device is rated for high-voltage systems.Electric motor assemblies
– Ensure the device can handle the specific signal output from the temperature sensor (analog or digital).
6. Wiring Diagram:
– Ensure that all components are connected to earth ground.
– Use appropriately rated cables and fuses to prevent damage and to comply with local electrical regulations.
7. Regular Testing and Calibration:
– Ensure that the temperature sensors are regularly calibrated and tested to maintain accuracy, especially in high-voltage applications.
