Novel temperature on-line measuring system for high voltage apparatus

A temperature sense system used in the temperature measurement of high voltage apparatus is presented based on the temperature sense characteristics of photonic crystal fiber(PCF) with helix liquid crystal filling.The system consists of wideband optic source,helix liquid crystal,PCF,fiber Fabry-Perot(F-P) cavity filter and signal amplification circuit.The helix liquid crystal is packaged in the hollow core of the PCF;with the characteristics that the pitch of helix liquid crystal is very sensitive to temperature change and PCF is insensitive to temperature and bend,the selective reflection wavelength of the sensor is dependent on temperature change.The temperature may be measured in real-time based on the wavelength change demodulated by fiber F-P cavity filter and the relationship between selective reflection wavelength and temperature.Selecting different helix liquid crystals,different temperature measurement ranges can be obtained.Using this method,the temperature of high voltage apparatus can be measured,and the measurement error is less than ±0.1 ℃.The proposed temperature measurement system has the advantages of intrinsic safe,high precision,high electrical insulation,anti-electromagnetic interference;and is insensitive to strain and ambient light,and compatible with common transmission fibers.
