Stator Slot RTD sensor
Kamet supplies industrial-quality stator slot RTDs that are specifically designed to be installed between the stator windings of motors and generators. These resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are essential for protecting high-value electrical machines from overheating, which can lead to insulation damage, system failure, and costly downtime.
The RTDs are embedded directly into the stator slots, in direct contact with the windings and insulation. This placement ensures highly accurate and localized temperature monitoring – a key factor in enhancing equipment reliability, performance and safety.

Stator slot applications across industries
Stator slot RTDs are used across many sectors where reliable electric motors and generators are critical, including:
- Hydroelectric power stations
- Wind turbines
- Industrial manufacturing environments
- Heavy-duty electric machinery and generator systems
In all these applications, precise temperature monitoring leads to:
- Increased motor longevity
- Improved operational efficiency
- Early detection of faults or abnormal voltage conditions
- Enhanced safety during high-demand operations
- Reduced maintenance costs due to fewer insulation failures or mechanical breakdowns
Product features and benefits
Stator slot RTDs feature sensing elements along most of their length, allowing for continuous average temperature readings across a broad area. This design ensureslocalized hot spots are detected, providing a complete and responsive view of the thermal profile within the stator slot.
Kamet’s stator slot RTDs are engineered to meet the demands of high-performance industrial environments. Key characteristics include:
- Flexible, non-inducible materials for optimal fit and performance
- Flat and thin design for seamless embedding between windings
- Bifilar construction to avoid induction-related errors
- Durability under shock, vibration, and pressure
- High accuracy, repeatability, and long-term stability
