Features:
- Provides Continuous Dual-Channel Monitoring Of Rotor Axial Expansion
- Features Jumper-Selectable Signal Scale Factor Of 20 mV/Mil Or 10 mV/Mil
- Supports Four Alarm Setpoints Per Channel With High Accuracy And Low Power Consumption
The Bently Nevada 3300/45 Dual Differential Expansion Monitor is designed to accurately track the axial displacement of rotors relative to the machine casing, addressing challenges caused by thermal growth during turbine startup and shutdown. This monitor ensures precise measurement of changes in axial clearance that can affect machine performance and safety.
Equipped with two proximity probe transducer inputs, the 3300/45 allows operators to monitor both the magnitude and direction of differential expansion. Its jumper-selectable scale factor, 20 mV/mil (0.787 V/mm) or 10 mV/mil (0.392 V/mm), combined with a nominal power consumption of 1.5 watts and 10 kΩ input impedance, guarantees reliable operation in ambient temperatures from 0°C to +65°C (32°F to 150°F) and storage conditions from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F), with relative humidity up to 95% non-condensing.
Compared to standard monitors, the Bently Nevada 3300/45 provides flexible configuration with the option to disable Channel B for single-location measurements, while offering four configurable alarm points per channel. Its ±0.33% full-scale typical accuracy (±1% maximum) at 25°C (+77°F) ensures dependable integration with Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation systems, making it suitable for critical applications in turbines, compressors, and other rotating machinery where monitoring axial expansion is essential.
The 3300/45 Bently Nevada Dual Differential Expansion Monitor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Axial Clearance Protection: Real-time monitoring of rotor axial displacement relative to the housing ensures safe clearance for critical components such as shaft seals and blades.
- Dual-Channel Monitoring: Configurable as two independent channels to monitor differential expansion at different locations within the machine; or channel B can be shut down when only a single measurement point is required.
- Multi-Sensor Support: Supports large-range eddy current probe inputs of 25 mm, 35 mm, or 50 mm to accommodate the expansion range of different unit sizes (up to 20 mm or 1.0 inch).
- Analog Output: Each channel provides an independent recorder output, selectable for +4 to +20 mA current signals, 0 to -10 Vdc, or +1 to +5 Vdc voltage signals for connection to DCS or PLC systems.
- Buffered Transducer Outputs: The front panel provides buffered transducer outputs for technicians to perform on-site diagnostics using oscilloscopes or dynamic signal analyzers.
- Data Interface Integration: This module can transmit monitoring data to the host computer software via SDI (Serial Data Interface) or DDI (Dynamic Data Interface) protocols through a system monitor in the 3300 rack (such as the 3300/03).
- Industry Standards: As part of the 3300 system, its design fully complies with the stringent requirements of the API 670 standard for mechanical protection systems.
- Alarm Logic: Each channel supports four independent alarm points (two upper limits and two lower limits) and is equipped with four quad relay outputs, configurable with epoxy sealing for enhanced chemical resistance.
- Self-Diagnosis: Features Not OK status monitoring. When a probe or cable is damaged, the recorder output can be clamped to 2 mA (if selected), helping the automation system clearly distinguish between "sensor failure" and "lower limit of measurement range".
- Institutional Certifications: Optional CSA/NRTL/C certifications are available to meet safety application specifications in North America and international hazardous areas.
