Abstract

A temperature-sensing apparatus for sensing the temperature of an electrical conductor (31), comprising a sensor frame (210) including a frame body (2101) and a channel (2102) adapted to accommodate the electrical conductor (31). At least a portion of a temperature sensor is received in a chamber (2103) of the sensor frame (210). At least a portion of a thermal contact member is disposed between the electrical conductor (31) and the temperature sensor and configured to enhance thermal-contact therebetween. At least a portion of the thermal contact member is radially pressable against the electrical conductor (31).
