Inspection of electrical wires for insulation faults and current surges using sliding temperature sensor based on optical Microfibre coil resonator
Inspection of electrical wires for insulation faults and current surges using sliding temperature sensor based on optical Microfibre coil resonator
We present a compact and robust temperature sensor based on an optical microfiber coil resonator packaged around a Teflon tube. The probe can efficiently slide along electrical wires to map the local temperature for locating insulation faults and reporting high current surges. A temperature responsivity of 95 pm/°C up to ~80 °C was demonstrated. This sensor is potentially low cost and simple to fabricate, making it attractive for domestic and industrial applications.

Abstract
We present a compact and robust temperature sensor based on an optical microfiber coil resonator packaged around a Teflon tube. The probe can efficiently slide along electrical wires to map the local temperature for locating insulation faults and reporting high current surges. A temperature responsivity of 95 pm/°C up to ~80 °C was demonstrated. This sensor is potentially low cost and simple to fabricate, making it attractive for domestic and industrial applications.
