Abstract
A sensor mounting system is provided including a non-conductive bracket having a first end portion and a second end portion; a busbar section connected to the first end portion of the non-conductive bracket and having a high emissivity coating on a surface thereof; and an infrared sensor connected to the second end portion the non-conductive bracket, such that the infrared sensor faces the surface of the bus bar having the high emissivity coating and is spaced apart from the busbar section a predetermined distance.
Claims15
A sensor mounting system, the system comprising:
- a non-conductive bracket having a first end portion and a second end portion;
- a busbar section connected to the first end portion of the non-conductive bracket and having a high emissivity coating on a surface thereof;
- and
- an infrared sensor connected to the second end portion of the non-conductive bracket, such that the infrared sensor faces the surface of the bus bar having the high emissivity coating and is spaced apart from the busbar section a predetermined distance.
A mounting system comprising:
- a “Z” shaped non-conductive bracket having a first end portion and a second end portion;
- and
- a busbar section connected to the first end portion of the “Z” shaped non-conductive bracket and having a high emissivity coating on a surface thereof,
- wherein the second end portion of the “Z” shaped non-conductive bracket is configured to receive an infrared sensor at the second end portion of the “Z” shaped non-conductive bracket, such that the infrared sensor faces the surface of the bus bar having the high emissivity coating and is spaced apart from the busbar section a predetermined distance.
