Abstract: A method of remotely monitoring a status of a surge arrester disconnector includes providing a long-range wireless mesh communication system including a plurality of disconnectors organized in a plurality of clusters. Each cluster includes a plurality of disconnectors that are physically located within a same cluster area. At least one of the disconnectors in each cluster is coupled to a communication device of a predetermined communication range. The method includes transmitting, from a first cluster, a status signal indicative of a status of a first disconnector in the first cluster to a second cluster located within the predetermined communication range, and consecutively transmitting the status signal from the second cluster to a third cluster within the predetermined communication range, until reaching an end cluster. The method includes transmitting, from the end cluster, the status signal to a monitoring station, and monitoring the status of the first disconnector at the monitoring station based on a result of transmission of the status signal.

Abstract: An electrical power connector includes a connector housing having a slot at a mating end of the connector housing configured to receive a power distribution assembly. The electrical power connector includes power contacts received in the connector housing configured to be is coupled to a power distribution contact of the power distribution assembly. The electrical power connector includes a monitoring device having a monitoring circuit, a monitoring sensor coupled to the monitoring circuit, and a monitoring transmitter coupled to the monitoring circuit. The monitoring sensor is coupled to the power contact to monitor an operating characteristic of the power contact. The monitoring circuit receives sensor signals from the monitoring sensor and the monitoring transmitter transmits monitoring signals from the monitoring circuit based on the operating characteristic of the power contact to a monitoring network remote from the electrical power connector.

CPC classification number: H01R13/6683 , G01K1/024
Abstract: A connector terminating an end of an electrical cable includes an outer surface, and a radio frequency (RF) sensor tag is secured to the connector outer surface and includes a temperature sensor and an antenna. In response to the RF sensor tag receiving an interrogation signal from a remote RF reader, the temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the connector and generate a temperature data signal, and the antenna is configured to transmit the temperature data signal to the remote RF reader.

Abstract: A wire terminating apparatus and method which allows for determining the quality of a wire termination. The method includes terminating the wire, monitoring the thermal properties of the termination with one or more thermal sensors and comparing the monitored thermal properties to stored thermal properties to determine if the termination is defective. If the termination is defective, the termination is discarded. The apparatus includes a wire termination zone. A thermal sensor is mounted on the wire terminating apparatus proximate the wire termination zone. The thermal sensor monitors the thermal properties of the termination to determine if the termination is defective.
