This paper presents a deep learning-based method for defect detection and classification of
power distribution lines using video analysis. The first stage is dataset preparation in which …

During service, transmission lines (TLs) will be subjected to unbalanced longitudinal loads
due to events such as conductor breakage, insulator failure, and sudden ice shedding …

Humidity and pollution deposition on the surface of porcelain insulators affect the electrical
field distribution and their performance which may lead to partial discharge and decreasing …

Acoustic inspection is a valuable technique that can detect early stage defects in equipment,
thereby facilitating predictive maintenance. In recent times, ultrasonic sensors have made …

Various techniques are being implemented to analyze outdoor insulators. It plays an
important role in the transmission line, and its electrical insulation and mechanical support …

The porcelain insulators are widely used in distribution network of China. In order to attach
overhead cables on it, the binding wires are used. As the binding wires are bonded on the …

The porcelain insulator incipient fault (PIIF) is a self-clearing discharge process caused by
water entering the crack of the porcelain insulator. It will not result in a tripping operation but …

Suspension type porcelain insulators used in overhead transmission lines comprise metal,
ceramic, and cement. The deterioration of cement can lead to mechanical separation. For …

Insulator fatigue, lighting strike, or flashover could result in the breakage of insulator strings.
Insulator breakage can cause conductor impingement on the ground, which is a threat to the …

In view of the problem that the partial discharge type of switchgear still needs to be judged
by the staff according to the collected phase diagram and experience after the erection of …
