<p>A liquid leakage sensor is provided having an electrically insulating sensor base (10) and first and second elongate electrical conductors (11,12) embedded in the insulating base, portions of the conductors being exposed to the environment through a plurality of openings (14) in the insulating base, the sensor being capable of detecting a conductive connection between exposed portions of the first and second conductors when an electrically conductive liquid penetrates one or more of the openings, wherein one end (11a,12a) of each of the first and second conductors extends to one edge of the insulating base and is covered by electrical insulation (18), and the other end (11b,12b) of each of the first and second conductors extends outwardly from the opposite edge of the insulating base, the outward extensions (11b,12b) of these first and second conductors being connected to electrical wires (21,22) leading to alarm means, both the outward extensions (11b,12b) and electrical wires (21,22) being covered by and encased within electrical insulation (16).</p> |
