Abstract
In combination a wear indication sensor and a component of a gas turbine engine is provided. The wear indication sensor is secured to a first surface of the component of the gas turbine engine. The wear indication sensor comprises: a first terminal; a second terminal electrically connected to the first terminal; two or more of resistors electrically connecting the first terminal to the second terminal, each of the two or more resistors including a first end electrically connected to the first terminal and a second end electrically connected to the second terminal, wherein each of the two or more resistors has a known resistance; and a first electrode electrically connecting the first terminal to the first end of each of the two or more resistors; wherein the first end of each of the two or more resistors is electrically connected to the first electrode through primary conductive lines.
