Abstract:
Embodiments of present disclosure relate to a power cable connector, an electrical system and a method for assembling a power cable connector. The power cable connector comprises a housing comprising a first portion adapted to contain a conductive plug inserted therethrough. The power cable connector also comprises a first layer arranged on at least a part of an inner wall of the housing. The power cable connector further comprises a second layer arranged on the first layer so that the first layer is at least partially located between the inner wall of the housing and the second layer. The power cable connector further comprises a passive wireless measuring apparatus embedded into the second layer, wherein in the case that the conductive plug is inserted into the first portion, a surface of the passive wireless measuring apparatus is coupled to the conductive plug. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the on-line monitoring of the temperature of the conductive plug can be obtained and the power failure can be detected in advance.
