Ice accumulation and frost on power lines during the winter season can pose significant issues for utilities and their maintenance crews. When combined with high winds, the threat can become serious. Crews working near these lines risk being struck by falling ice or nearby vegetation. High winds may cause ice laden lines to gallop, and if the wind is extreme, the galloping lines may collide causing faults, downed lines, possible equipment damage or power outages.
Having a tool that alerts your team to extreme temperatures, ice accumulation and high winds will allow you to be proactive in your decisions to pre-position material or teams in the field or de-energize a line before equipment is damaged or downed lines pose a safety risk.
