Intelligent monitoring systems for conductor tension and sag are rapidly moving into mainstream adoption. Combining IoT-enabled dynamometers, optical/sensor-based sag measurement and cloud dashboards enables real-time decision-making and safer conductor installation.

Benefits for projects
• Immediate alerts when tension thresholds are exceeded.
• Automated logging for QA and warranty records.
• Better coordination between site teams and remote engineers through live dashboards.

Technology snapshot
Recent research and practical deployments show systems that integrate load cell data, environmental sensors and optical monitoring to compute dynamic sag and conductor health metrics. These systems make reconductoring and EHV stringing safer and more predictable.
