Abstract :
Corrosion and reliability of overhead power lines is a significant industrial problem. The design, development and testing of a Conductor Damage Inspection System (CDIS) is described. The system can measure internal damage of aluminium wires and bulges due to corrosion and internal defects within cables, is remotely operated and can be operated on a live line.
