PORTABLE SELF POWERED LINE MOUNTED HIGH SPEED CAMERA SYSTEM FOR OVERHEAD ELECTRIC POWER LINES

摘要

A device for attaching to an electric power line conductor includes an electrically conductive housing having an opening for accepting the power line conductor and configured to be grounded to the electric power line conductor. At least one magnetic core is configured to surround the power line conductor and power a power supply electronics module. At least one camera assembly is connected to the housing and configured to capture fault and lightning stroke images along the electric power line conductor.
