Arrangement to detect a fault electrical connection
View Patent ↗An arrangement to detect a fault electrical connection in a wind turbine is provided. According to the arrangement, an ozone sensor is located close to a dedicated electrical connection within the wind turbine. A certain amount of ozone gas, which is generated by a corona due to a fault of the dedicated electrical connection, is detected by the ozone sensor.
1. Arrangement to detect a fault electrical connection in a wind turbine, comprising:
an ozone sensor located close to a dedicated electrical connection within the wind turbine,
wherein an ozone gas, which is generated by a corona due to a fault of the dedicated electrical connection, is detected by the ozone sensor.
2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the ozone sensor is controlled remotely.
3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the ozone sensor is covered or enclosed by a shell or housing in order to prevent that ambient influences interfere with an detection of the ozone gas.
4. The arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the ozone sensor is covered or enclosed by a shell or housing in order to prevent that ambient influences interfere with an detection of the ozone gas.
