1. A device for attaching to an electric power line conductor comprising:
- an electrically conductive housing including an opening for accepting the power line conductor and configured to be grounded to the electric power line conductor;
at least one magnetic core configured to surround the power line conductor and power a power supply electronics module; and
at least one camera assembly connected to the housing configured to capture fault and lightning stroke images from the electric power line conductor, wherein the at least one camera assembly is electrostatically shielded by a transparent material including an electrically conductive substrate mounted within an electrically conducting corona free bezel which is mounted to the housing for preventing corona discharges when the housing is mounted on the electric power line conductor.
