Claim 15:
16. A method for operating a submersible pump assembly, the method comprising the steps of:
providing the submersible pump assembly with the submersible pump assembly comprising a submersible pump comprising a pump housing and a primary coil within the housing and a sensor capsule comprising a hermetically sealed casing, wherein the sensor capsule is releasably mountable at a sensor position located at an outer face of the pump housing and a secondary coil within the casing, wherein the primary coil and the secondary coil are arranged to be inductively coupled with each other for wirelessly transferring data and/or power through the housing and the casing with the sensor capsule mounted at the sensor position;
releasably mounting the sensor capsule at the sensor position via releasably mounting a securing member to the housing and releasably mounting the sensor capsule within a channel of the securing member such that the primary coil within the housing of the submersible pump and the secondary coil within the hermetically sealed casing of the sensor capsule are arranged to be inductively coupled with each other; and
wirelessly transferring data and/or power by an inductive coupling between the primary coil and the secondary coil through the housing and the casing.
