Lindsey TLM® Conductor Monitor

Real Time Transmission Line Conductor Monitor

 

The Lindsey TLM® Conductor Monitor is an accurate, real‐time, conductor clearance measurement device for facility ratings, compliance and dynamic line rating applications. It provides a complete picture of conductor behavior including actual conductor clearance‐to‐ground, conductor temperature, line current, and vibration. The TLM monitor is an affordable, easily installed, self‐powered conductor monitoring solution for system voltages up to 765kV.

The Real Time Transmission Line Conductor Monitor allows to keep track of excessive temperatures that lead to conductor annealing and provide input to dynamic line rating systems such as Lindsey’s SMARTLINE‐DLR™.

 

SMARTLINE

 

SMARTLINE‐DLR is a next generation transmission line dynamic rating system using real‐time weather and measured conductor data ‐including mid‐span clearance‐to‐ground ‐ to determine power capacity.
