Abstract- To solve the problems of traditional wired on-line monitoring system which has lines too much, cost too high, fault diagnosing and maintaining difficulties and so on, an on-line working condition monitoring system for large electrical equipment based on wireless sensor network (WSN) is proposed, designed and implemented. CC2431 chips were used for hardware design of wireless sensor network node and base station, and the TinyOS transplanted into the sensor nodes and base station
