An assembly that is provided with condition monitoring comprises a first element having two or more electrically conductive contact members (102-105), a second (106) element attached to the two or more electrically conductive contact members and providing galvanic connections between the contact members. The assembly further comprises a monitoring circuit (120) for monitoring electrical conductivities of the galvanic connections and for generating an indicator signal in response to a situation in which the electrical conductivity of one or more of the galvanic connections is lower than a threshold. When the joint between the first and second elements is totally or partially out of order, the electrical conductivity of one or more of the galvanic connections is low or zero and thus the indicator signal is generated. Therefore, the condition of the joint can be electrically monitored. |
