Abstract
The aperiodic occurrence of widespread contamination related outages in Florida resulted in a project to develop a contamination monitoring system. Along with original research work this project brings together knowledge from diverse technical fields to produce a practical, field deployable, contamination monitoring system. Testing of the system, both in a controlled testing environment and on operating transmission lines, has verified the ability of the system to monitor the buildup of contamination as well as the natural washing of insulation
