An adaptive system for autonomously detecting overheating of electrical equipment components, its usage method, and testing method.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for detecting abnormal and early pre-fire conditions, and more particularly to a system for autonomously detecting overheating of electrical equipment components, a method of using the same, and a method of testing the same. [Solution] Adaptive system for autonomous detection of overheating of electrical equipment components, method of use and test method thereof: - Gas sensor: for detecting gases released when a monitored component or a thermally activated gas-releasing material installed on it is heated. Controller: connected to or integrated with the gas sensor, capable of generating an overheating alarm and / or transmitting the information to other devices when gas generated by heating of the monitored component or a thermally activated gas-releasing material installed on it acts on the sensor, and can take into account the presence of background gas in the monitored zone. Furthermore, a method for testing the system and a method of use for autonomously detecting overheating of electrical equipment elements are also disclosed. The present invention aims to improve the reliability and safety of electrical equipment by promptly detecting defects involving overheating of electrical equipment components.
