First and foremost, component density in modern electrical panels is a growing challenge. In Motor Control Centers (MCCs), especially in drawers, space is a critical resource. Engineers struggle to accommodate circuit breakers, contactors, and relays in increasingly compact compartments. At first, adding a thermal monitoring system seemed physically unfeasible, as traditional sensors take up space that the drawer simply does not have.

Varixx responded to this limitation with the ZYGGOT SG (SwitchGear) line. This solution was designed specifically for Temperature Monitoring in MCCs, ensuring total surveillance without interfering with the mechanics or ventilation of the cubicle.

The space challenge in CCM Temperature Monitoring

First, CCM drawers are thermal “black boxes.” The high concentration of connections in a small volume generates heat, but the lack of space prevents efficient air circulation and makes it difficult to install instrumentation. In this sense, trying to adapt conventional sensors can block natural exhaust or prevent the door from closing.

Despite this, it is precisely there, in the power connections and clamp contacts, that most failures originate. Therefore, CCM Temperature Monitoring cannot be neglected due to lack of space. The solution needs to be miniaturized, but robust.

ZYGGOT SG: Designed for Density in CCM Temperature Monitoring

Above all, ZYGGOT SG solves the “size versus performance” equation. Its sensors have a reduced form factor and optimized cabling, allowing installation in the most congested areas of the drawer. Temperature Monitoring in CCM becomes possible even in low-height drawers (such as half-module ones).

In other words, the technology adapts to the asset, not the other way around. The system monitors input and output connections, as well as clamp contacts, without creating physical obstacles. This ensures that the mechanical functionality of drawer extraction is preserved.

Operational safety in CCM Temperature Monitoring

In addition, operator safety is the central focus. Performing manual thermography on CCM drawers requires opening the compartment or relying on inspection windows that do not always provide the correct angle. For example, a hot spot on the rear connection (clamp) is invisible to an external thermal camera.

Simultaneously, CCM Temperature Monitoring with ZYGGOT SG monitors these blind spots 24/7. When it detects abnormal heating inside the closed drawer, the system alerts the operation remotely. This eliminates the need to expose the electrician to the risk of electric arc during dangerous manual inspections.

Integration and scalability in CCM Temperature Monitoring

On the other hand, data management is centralized. Even with hundreds of drawers in an electrical room, the system consolidates the information. A single concentrator can manage multiple drawers, simplifying the network architecture.

In short, Varixx's CCM Temperature Monitoring transforms isolated data into a holistic view of plant health.

Conclusion on efficiency

Therefore, lack of space is no longer an excuse for lack of security. ZYGGOT SG proves that big solutions fit in small places.

After all, ensuring operational continuity requires looking inside the box. Adopt Varixx's CCM Temperature Monitoring and shield your most compact and critical assets.
