Abstract: Wired electric equipment overheating monitoring system has some limitations in electric propulsion ships. This paper designs an electrical equipment overheat monitoring system based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to monitor the overheat of electrical equipment. To verify the performance of the whole system, we design the hardware and the software of sensor nodes and coordinators. In order to extend the lifetime of sensor node effectively, the system adopts the dynamic sleep and controllable transmit power method. The results show that this system achieves the accurate measurement of electrical equipment temperature. At the same time, laboratory data tests shown that it can achieve the same accuracy as wired measurements. This paper provides a new solution for overheating monitoring of marine electrical equipment.
