Hi all,
I am aware of tell-tale temperature stickers that can be placed on cables, conductors etc where overload is suspected. However, once buried this would of course be rather hard to inspect, certainly on a regular basis!
Does anyone have any recommendations for cable temperature monitoring setups that could be retrofitted relatively simply and connected to an existing data acquisition system, posssibly to trigger load reduction if necessary but that might be the advanced course.
I'm thinking of a few thermocouple patches under wraparound sleeving for waterproofing, going into a suitable device above ground, but this kind of sensor isn't my area and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if possible.
Thanks in advance,
J
