Claim 14:
15. A method comprising:
configuring a hardware processor for a power device comprising an inverter, a wind power generator, a solar panel generator, or a combiner box to:
monitor values of a sensor by a controller circuit and the controller circuit is electrically coupled to the sensor,
wherein the sensor is in contact with a conducting probe,
wherein the conducting probe is coupled with an electrical conductor of an electrical terminal via a recess in a terminal lug in the electrical terminal,
wherein the conducting probe comprises a recess shaped to receive a jumper bridge,
wherein the recess comprises an elongated shape and the conducting probe also comprises the elongated shape, wherein the electrical terminal is incorporated into a terminal block, wherein the terminal block is mechanically coupled to a DIN rail, and the DIN rail has a shape selected from IEC/EN 60715, AS 2756-1997, EN 50035, BS 5825, or DIN 46277-1; and
when values of the sensor comply with a rule associated with a hazardous condition, initiate by the controller circuit an action to mitigate the hazardous condition including sending a message to a host system or user interface indicating an exceeded threshold and an identifier of the electrical terminal for assistance in initiating a repair of the electrical terminal;
wherein the threshold includes an over-temperature threshold, an over-resistance threshold, an over/under-voltage threshold, a overpower dissipation threshold, or an abnormal terminal sensor value threshold.
