Abstract:
1. An electrical installation of an outgoing generator line with a current conductor, which produces Joulean heat during operation of the installation, and is at a high voltage potential and with a cooling element, which contains a condensable working medium and is in the form of a heat pipe and has an evaporator, which can be heated by the current conductor of the installation, and a condenser, which is withdrawn from a heating effect of the current conductor, and wherein the evaporator is coupled thermally to the current conductor, wherein the current conductor is in thermally conductive contact with the cooling element, the cooling element has an insulator in order to lead the condenser to an electrical potential of an encapsulation of the outgoing generator line, and by a monitoring device with at least one first sensor for detecting a parameter of the cooling element and with an evaluation unit that receives output signals from the first sensor, evaluates the output signals, and forms a signal describing at least one of a state and a functionality of the cooling element.
