Abstract
The use of phosphor thermometry in generator rotor temperature monitoring over the 60–150°C range has been investigated, using measurements of the decay time of the visible emission stimulated in europium-doped yttrium oxysulfide by UV laser excitation. A fiber-optic system for light delivery and collection has been designed and tested in laboratory measurements on a rotating disk. Measurements of the effect of oil and magnetic field on sensor performance are reported.
