Ultrasonic RFI Detector Pinpoints Possible Faulty Lightning Diverter
After devising a way to accurately sight the parabolic reflector I’m using in my ultrasonic RFI source locator, I went back out to the suspect pole today. From three different vantage points, the system zeroed in on the device highlighted in the photos seen below. The device appears to be a lightning arrester/surge diverter. I’m […]
Ultrasonic Detector for Locating RFI Sources on Power Poles Completed and Put To Work
First actual use of the ultrasonic system I just put together for hunting down RFI sources on utility poles. Narrowed it down to the top of this pole. Definitely some arcing going on in a connection, insulator, or other hardware at the top of this pole: Here is the Son-Tector Ultrosonic Probe Kit which […]
