Today I attended a seminar hear that there are customers using
Thermocouples (RTD probably would not cut it) for Turbine generator
temperature monitoring and they need very high speed temperature
measurement. I assume that will be quite high temperature.
Just do not know how they do it for the insulation.

For UL related temperature test, typically we use do a temperature
profiling using Infrared temperature measurement to identify the
hot spots and then use Thermocuples to measure the temperature
using data loggers like Agilent 34970A/34980A.
