  • Publication number: 20200326292
    Abstract: An equipment-monitoring system having a resistive sensor designed for two- or four-terminal sensing of damage thereto caused by an environmental exposure. In an example embodiment, the resistive sensor comprises a sense resistor susceptible to the environmental exposure and a reference resistor protected from the environmental exposure, the sense and reference resistors being internally connected to four terminals of the sensor in a manner that enables external bridge-type measurements of the electrical resistance of the sense resistor. In some embodiments, the sense resistor comprises a relatively large number of flat metal stripes connected in parallel to one another between two of the four terminals, which advantageously provides an extended dynamic range of the damage detectable with the corresponding sensor and improves the sensor reliability.
