Abstract
An apparatus and use of the apparatus for monitoring a current-carrying device wherein at least one acceleration sensor produces acceleration measurement values and a communication device transmits produced acceleration measurement values. A power supply unit is for the acceleration sensor and the communication device. The power supply unit includes an induction plate of a metallic material and a conductor loop extending around the induction plate and produces a power supply for the acceleration sensor and the communication device exclusively through induction from an electromagnetic alternating field of the current-carrying device. The apparatus can be positioned in a closed housing having a housing wall and the induction plate can be at least a subregion of the housing wall.
Claims18
An apparatus for monitoring a current-carrying device, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one acceleration sensor (11) producing acceleration measurement values, a communication device (15) transmitting produced acceleration measurement values, and a power supply unit for the at least one acceleration sensor (11) and the communication device (15), the power supply unit including an induction plate (16) of a metallic material and a conductor loop extending around the induction plate (16) to produce a power supply for the at least one acceleration sensor (11) and the communication device (15) exclusively through induction from an electromagnetic alternating field of the current-carrying device without any additional energy source and the apparatus (1) positioned in a closed housing (10) having a housing wall (100), and the induction plate (16) being at least a subregion of the housing wall (100).
An apparatus for monitoring a current-carrying device, the apparatus comprising:
- a closed housing (10) having a housing wall (100), the closed housing (10) enclosing:
- at least one acceleration sensor (11) producing acceleration measurement values;
- a communication device (15) transmitting produced acceleration measurement values;
- and a power supply unit for the at least one acceleration sensor (11) and the communication device (15), the enclosed power supply unit including an induction plate (16) of a metallic material and a conductor loop extending around the induction plate (16) to produce a power supply for the at least one acceleration sensor (11) and the communication device (15) exclusively through induction from an electromagnetic alternating field of the current-carrying device without any additional energy source, wherein the induction plate (16) and conductor loop are enclosed in the closed housing (10) as being at least a subregion of the housing wall (100).
