Description

Opsens’ OTG-T fiber optic temperature sensor offers the highest reliability and robustness in the industry. It uses the well proven technique based on the temperature-dependent bandgap of GaAs crystal as the temperature transduction mechanism. Its sensing GaAs crystal encapsulated in uniform protective tubing provides robustness and small size and ensures full protection against mechanical stress that may cause sensor damage when installed in the transformer isolation spacer.

The OTG-T is offered with our standard 62.5/125 micron optical fiber or with 200/230 micron optical fiber.
