Wireless powerline sensor

<h2 id="communication">Communication</h2>

<p>In the photos on the right, an antenna on the sensor transmits data to a communication device attached to a nearby utility pole.  The communication device gets power from the 240 volt utility line in a residential neighborhood.  The device has two antennas.  One antenna collects data from the sensors, and the other antenna forwards the data to the electrical utility control center over cell phone service.
</p><p>In some systems, powerline sensors may transmit information on the high voltage conductor itself rather than by transmission of a radio signal.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a>

<h2 id="measurements">Measurements</h2>
<p>The primary purpose of a powerline sensor is to measure current, however, some sensors can either directly measure or derive other data such as:
</p>
<ul><li>Conductor temperature</li>
<li>Ambient temperature</li>
<li>Inclination or the amount of line sagging</li>
<li>Wind movement</li>
<li>Electric fields</li>
<li>Power Generation</li>
<li>Distribution and Consumption of electricity</li></ul>
