LineTracker Conductor Mounted Sensors

The LineTracker series of overhead line recorders are the most versatile intelligent devices available. Utility Operators, Maintenance, Designers and Planning Engineers can easily monitor the condition and performance of high voltage grids remotely or on site. With the LineTrackers built-in wireless communications, users can download information without removing the untis from the line. Installed at strategic points such as T-junctions, switches, rural feeders and substations, information is stored for local download or remote communication to existing SCADA, Outage Management Systems or Distribution Management Systems.

The values recorded include:

	Load
	Maximum Demand
	Inrush Current
	Fault Waveforms
	Protection Operation and Timing
	Voltage Status
	Conductor and Ambient Temperature
	Power Factor & Phase Angle

The comprehensive data provides accurate fault detection and identification, especially when multiple faults occur. It also highlights potential weak areas, facilitating pre-emptive maintenance before outages occur. Many Utilities use these devices as portable troubleshooting tools and permanent installations with remote reporting at a fraction of the cost of SCADA RTU installations. The solar-charged and battery-powered LineTrackers solve many user applications such as:

	Improve reliability through instantaneous, accurate multiple fault detection
	Monitor peak loads, load profiles, load balance, etc. at key points of the network, optimizing load distribution and line capacity
	Verify breaker, re-closer and fuse operations, by accurately logging fault duration
	Log switching operations, time off, time on, etc. (from which all statistical SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, CAIFI, etc. figures can be determined)
	Log self clearing faults, preventing future faults through proactive maintenance
	Measure ambient and conductor temperature up to 138KV transmission lines
	Communicate via Cellular, Satellite, Radio, Ethernet and Landline. DNP3.0 compatible
