EPRI sensor install
Cheyenne linemen install sensors on a lattice steel structure on the Ault-to-Hayden 345-kilovolt line. The sensor will measure conductor or static temperature, current, movement along every axis and the speed of the motion. Using this data, maintenance crews and engineers are investigating if spacer dampers on this line need to be replaced and if a different configuration may better prevent the conductors from hitting each other.
