A temperature-sensing apparatus for sensing the temperature of an electrical conductor (), comprising a sensor frame () including a frame body () and a channel () adapted to accommodate the electrical conductor (). At least a portion of a temperature sensor is received in a chamber () of the sensor frame (). At least a portion of a thermal contact member is disposed between the electrical conductor () and the temperature sensor and configured to enhance thermal-contact therebetween. At least a portion of the thermal contact member is radially pressable against the electrical conductor ().

Real-time temperature measurement for electrical conductors

The present invention provides an inlet funnel () for cable terminal, which comprises a funnel body part () and a fixation part (). The funnel body part () has one end with a smaller opening and the other end with a larger opening, said funnel body () having a gradually increasing diameter (D) from said one end with the smaller opening to said other end with the larger opening, and the funnel body () is suitably to be installed over an electrical cable (C). The fixation part () is provided at said other end with the larger opening of said funnel body part () and adapted for the attachment of said inlet funnel (). The inlet funnel () further comprises a pretreated mounting part () extending from said one end side with the smaller opening towards said the other end side with the larger opening. Accordingly, the inlet funnel for cable terminal according to the present invention may reduce workload, save time, and simplify the mounting process.
