Pilot project for indirect measurement of conductor temperature

The transition to a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply is a challenge for both society and industry.

How much electricity the operators can feed into the grid is limited by the sag of the lines. In favorable weather conditions, the conductors can withstand an increase in current load of up to 150 percent.This requires a smart and reliable monitoring of the microclimate around the lines.

Read the practical example of our complete overhead line monitoring solution and learn how you can increase the efficiency of your power line.

The complete solution from one source



  • Weather sensor Lufft WS501, which measures temperature, solar radiation and wind speed, and direction
  • mounted on the mast measure the conditions prevailing on the conductor lines as precisely as possible
  • Sutron XLink 500 data logger for reliable data collection and storages storages
  • Power supply and communication are provided by a specially designed OTT MetSystems cabinet, powered by a solar panel
