The Conductor Tension RF Monitor is a specialized device designed to measure the tension in conductors. It utilizes a load cell placed in series with the conductor to accurately gauge the tension. This device is particularly useful in applications such as monitoring icing conditions, rating conductors, and conducting specialized research efforts.

The device operates by integrating a load cell into the conductor line. When tension is applied to the conductor, the load cell detects the force and converts it into an electrical signal. This signal is then transmitted wirelessly (via RF) to a monitoring system, where it is analyzed and recorded. The Conductor Tension RF Monitor can be configured for various types of load cells and can be adapted to measure dynamic loads, providing flexibility for different project requirements.
