Abstract
A power distribution busway joint monitoring sensor assembly is provided. A first sensor is configured to measure a first position temperature and generate a first signal indicative of the first position temperature, wherein the first position is proximate to a busway joint. A second sensor is configured to measure a second position temperature and generate a second signal indicative of the second position temperature. A sensor controller is configured to i) receive the first signal and the second signal, ii) process the first signal and the second signal, and iii) generate a processed first signal and a processed second signal. A system controller is configured to receive the processed first signal and the processed second signal and generate an alert when a temperature differential between the first position temperature and the second position temperature is greater than a predetermined threshold temperature.
