摘要:
A method of measuring the length of an electric cable, includes providing an electric cable having a cable length and including a cable neutral axis, and a fiber unit longitudinally extending along the cable and including an optical fiber arranged substantially along the neutral axis, wherein the optical fiber is mechanically coupled with the cable; injecting an optical signal into the optical fiber; detecting back-scattered light from the optical fiber responsive to the injected optical signal; analyzing the detected back-scattered light as a function of time so as to determine the length of the optical fiber, and deriving the cable length from the length of the optical fiber.
摘要:
An electric cable includes a strain sensor longitudinally extending along the cable and including a strain optical fiber arranged within a bending neutral region surrounding and including a bending neutral longitudinal axis of the electric cable, and at least two longitudinal structural elements, at least one of the at least two longitudinal structural elements being a core including an electrical conductor, wherein the strain sensor is embedded in a strain-transferring filler mechanically coupling at least one of the at least two longitudinal structural elements with the strain sensor. With the disclosed cable construction, the strain experienced by the at least one of the at least two longitudinal structural elements is transferred to the strain sensor at least in a strained condition. In the preferred embodiments, the electric cable is a heavy-duty cable.
