Introduction: Fault and Load Monitor devices enhanced with temperature sensing capabilities implemented in order to utilise the true capacities of OH Line for use with generation connection schemes at 33kV.

Objectives: The LineTracker is a fault and load monitor device from which data is downloaded wirelessly to a control centre at 33kV. The key aims are to add conductor and ambient temperature to LineTracker and increase voltage withstand for operation at 132kV.
