SagometerTM

The Sagometer™ is a second-generation design of a new technology developed for the express purpose of accurately monitoring conductor ground clearance/sag on overhead transmission lines. 

The Sagometer™ provides the information needed to confidently - -

  • Study conductor behavior for the purpose of validating and/or enhancing static rating

  • Establish the dynamic rating for a monitored line

  • Collect data on high-temperature conductor operation
