ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring the condition of an electrical generator having at least one conductor. An insulator is provided for surrounding the conductor, the insulator includes a light generating material for producing a distinctive optical signature when the insulator degrades. An optical acquisition device is provided for acquiring the optical signature when the insulator degrades. A light detector means is coupled to the optical acquisition device and detects and then converts the optical signature to an electrical signal. A signal processor, responsive to the electrical signal, then monitors degradation of the insulator by sensing the electrical signal.
