Author:Maistry, Nattele; Schutz, Robert A; Cox, EttienneDate:Sep 2018The current power line fault detection equipment can only locate a fault by detecting corona and heat radiated by the faults. This equipment cannot quantify the ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the fault in radiometric dimensions (W/cm2). The ...Read more
Author:Maistry, Nattele; Schutz, Robert A; Cox, EttienneDate:Nov 2017Polluted or broken insulators and faulty connections on power lines induce corona and thermal (heat) radiation. The corona and heat build-up causes long term degradation of the high voltage electrical components, which leads to voltage drops, ...Read more
