Abstract: The invention discloses a monitoring system for estimation of phase conductor parameters of overhead high voltage transmission lines. Particularly, these parameters include electric current, conductor clearance from ground and wind induced conductor motion. This is realized by utilizing magnetic field sensing at various points or of various components with state of art Tunnel Magneto resistive sensors.

For each group, initial conductor to sensor position coefficients are stored in two different sensitivity matrices in memory. For a change in conductor spatial position, the sensitivity matrices are altered which is estimated for each group and then validated by comparison. Errors in the reconstruction process are minimized by sensor placement at optimal points which ensures the condition number remains close to unity.
