An innovative new program to monitor faults on regional powerlines
Manage episode 428445802 series 2507595
Technology groups are hoping to roll out an innovative program to monitor power lines, which could be at risk of starting fires in regional areas.
Rural suburbs and farming districts are often more susceptible to major fires, and there are concerns faulty power lines are exacerbating the risk.
Researchers say the Early Fault Detection System, developed by R-M-I-T University, acts as a smoke alarm for power lines..
IND Technology is backing the system for rollout.
Rural Reporter Emily Minney discussed its use with Spokesman Tony Marxsen.
