Device, system and method for real-time monitoring of overhead power lines
First Claim
1. An overhead power line monitoring device, comprising:
- an external housing provided, at opposed ends thereof, with a first and a second opening for a power line cable traversing said external housing;
a monitoring subsystem for monitoring at least a mechanical parameter of said overhead power line; and
a communication subsystem for transmitting monitoring information generated by said monitoring subsystem;
whereinan internal housing is provided within said external housing, said power line cable passing outside said internal housing;
said monitoring subsystem is connected with said communication subsystem, and said monitoring subsystem and said communication subsystem are disposed within said internal housing;
said external and internal housings are both made of a conducting material in order to form electromagnetic shields; and
said monitoring subsystem comprises at least an oscillation sensor for detecting mechanical oscillations of said power line cable.
