Zusammenfassung:	A method of monitoring corrosion of an electrical enclosure in a hazardous environment is provided. The method is implemented with at least one computing device in communication with at least one FBG optical sensor reflecting UV light in the electrical enclosure. The method includes measuring wavelength changes of UV light reflected by the at least one sensor, wherein the wavelength changes are a function of corrosion-related strain in the electrical enclosure. The method also includes computing, by the at least one computing device, the corrosion-related strain in the electrical enclosure based on the measured wavelength changes. The method further includes comparing, by the at least one computing device, the computed corrosion-related strain with a predetermined threshold, and recommending preventive corrosion-related maintenance based on the comparison.
