When power lines break down, they create fast moving wave signals. The system uses sensors that are fixed on the lines to catch these wave signals right away. The system uses time matching tools to organize all collected data. It checks the signal shapes and uses background calculation tools to find where the fault sits. This system can spot line problems at once and keep watching power transmission lines all the time without stop.
The system can find the exact position of faults fast, and workers do not need to check wires part by part. This shortens the time that power stays off. The system makes power recovery faster. It also spends less money on manual checks and outdoor work, and it reduces the total maintenance cost of power lines.
