Some Initial Results of Recent Developments in Graphic Power-line Disturbance Monitoring

Recent developments in the technology available for power-line disturbance monitoring include the use of sub-microsecond sampling times, new disturbance capture algorithms, and sophisticated graphics software. One implementation of these developments is described. Some power-line disturbances which have been captured by this implementation are presented, with tentative explanations. These developments may allow the compilation of a set of signatures which will identify the causes of power-line disturbances.
