Power cabinet and RPP monitoring
Continuous thermal monitoring of the breaker and switchgear connections inside your power cabinets and remote power panels. Every day, not once a year.

A loose connection doesn't trip anything. It just gets hotter.
Breakers protect against overcurrent. They have no way to notice a lug that's slowly working loose.
Resistance creeps up
Thermal cycling, vibration and oxidation loosen terminations a little at a time. Resistance at the joint climbs with them.
Heat scales with load
Heat at a connection rises with the square of the current. High-density AI loads turn a small resistance change into a real hotspot.
Nothing alerts
No breaker trips and no fuse blows. The first sign is often discoloration, a failure, or a fire.
What a once-a-year scan can't tell you
Infrared surveys are good practice. They're also a snapshot of one day, under one load.
| Criteria | Annual infrared scan | Butlr continuous monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| How often | Once a year | Every day, around the clock |
| What you learn | Temperature at one moment | Trend against each connection's own baseline |
| Load conditions | Whatever the load was that day | Compared across real load patterns |
| Access | Panel opened, technician on site | Sensors stay installed in the cabinet |
How it works
- 1
Mount inside the cabinet
A battery-powered thermal sensor watches the breaker and switchgear connections. No wiring, no shutdown. - 2
Learn each connection's normal
The Butlr Platform builds a baseline per connection, so a joint running warmer than it used to stands out. - 3
Alert on drift, not just thresholds
A connection climbing a few degrees over two weeks never crosses a static limit. Butlr flags the trend.
Alerts where your team already works
Per-zone thresholds route to the tools your facilities and critical-environment teams already use. Open APIs feed your DCIM, BMS and digital twin.
