Abstract
A device and method for the detection of electrical discharge in an HVAC control box are disclosed. The device comprises an ultrasonic sensor(s) such as a MEMS-based sensor that detects the acoustic spectrum(s) generated within the HVAC control box, and a processing unit in communication with the ultrasonic sensor. The processing unit is configured to receive, from the ultrasonic sensor, the acoustic spectrum being detected within the HVAC control box and analyze the received acoustic spectrum to detect an electrical discharge within the HVAC control box.
