The challenge

What operators are up against

Teams responsible for overhead HV and LV lines, conductors, insulators, poles, and the rural and urban network sections exposed to storms, vegetation, and third-party interference cannot continuously inspect every operating condition through periodic testing or manual patrols alone. Those gaps leave developing faults undetected until they escalate into unplanned outages, safety incidents, regulatory exposure, or costly asset failure. Operators need continuous field evidence, an early and reliable warning, and a clear response that protects the wider network and its customers.

The solution

How Overhead Line Fault Detection and Automatic Restoration addresses it

Overhead Line Fault Detection and Automatic Restoration combines connected field data with application software. LineSIGHT sensors mounted on the line continuously monitor conductor, insulator and fault behaviour while Perch reclosers detect and act on line faults. Fault Insights classifies and locates the fault, distinguishes nested and transient events, and identifies weak sections needing attention. Dispatch crews to the confirmed location, prioritise vegetation or asset work, and let Perch automatically restore supply within the outage window.

How it works

Teams configure the monitored assets, users, and operating rules. LineSIGHT sensors mounted on the line continuously monitor conductor, insulator and fault behaviour while Perch reclosers detect and act on line faults. Field components exchange records with the application through the vendor-supported path; the exact public network transport is not specified. Fault Insights classifies and locates the fault, distinguishes nested and transient events, and identifies weak sections needing attention. Dispatch crews to the confirmed location, prioritise vegetation or asset work, and let Perch automatically restore supply within the outage window.
