本発明は吸湿センサを組み込んだ吸湿検知ケーブルに関

(Moisture intrusion into the cable is one of the causes of failures. To prevent this, a strong coating is usually applied, but in the unlikely event that moisture intrudes), it can be detected or extended. There was no suitable method for predicting performance degradation due to the intrusion of minute amounts of water during this period.

センサとしては適していない、。In other words, the so-called humidity lenses that can detect moisture or humidity include electrical resistors using 1icl, carbon film, vapor-deposited film, porous aluminum oxide, magnetite 1-Tloid, nickel ferrite, tin oxide, titanium oxide, ceramics, etc. A number of humidity sensors have already been developed and put into practical use, such as humidity sensors that utilize micro-fluid propagation loss, but all of these conventional humidity sensors operate within a limited area near where the sensor is installed. In order to detect the humidity inside a long object such as a lightning cable or communication group, it is necessary to install a large number of humidity sensors along the longitudinal direction. It is not suitable as a moisture absorption sensor for power cables or communication coolers.

Although it is well known that deterioration of performance occurs, the moisture absorption sensor used in the present invention is also capable of detection based on cumulative moisture absorption, so it is reasonable to use this to detect deterioration of insulation performance of cables.
