Abstract
Optical sensing methods and systems for power applications, and the construction thereof, are described herein. An example method of constructing a winding assembly includes mounting a sensing component to a coil former, and winding a coil onto the coil former so that the sensing component is positioned within the coil. A system and method for detecting operating conditions within a transformer using the described winding assemblies are described.
Claims24
A method of constructing a winding assembly, the method comprising:
- mounting a set of support spacers to a coil former with a plurality of the support spacers spaced circumferentially apart from each other about the coil former;
- supporting a sensing component with at least the plurality of the support spacers;
- and
- winding a coil onto the coil former, wherein the sensing component is positioned within the coil.
