Straight poles along 10kV transmission lines require routine UAV inspections to identify structural wear, hardware looseness, insulator aging, and environmental risks. This guide summarizes all mandatory inspection points to improve efficiency and accuracy in aerial inspections.
| Serial Number | Inspection points | Shooting quality requirements | Software checkpoint screenshot | Real Inspection Point Images |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Full Pole View | Capture a complete and clear view of the pole, ensuring the full pole structure and tower angles can be accurately distinguished. |  | |
| 2 | Pole Number Plate | Ensure the pole number plate is clearly identifiable. |  | |
| 3 | Pole Foundation | Clearly show the ground conditions around the foundation area. |  | |
| 4 | Left Insulator | Clearly capture small components such as bolts, nuts, locking pins, and insulators. When hardware parts obstruct each other, take photos from multiple angles. |  | |
| 5 | Top of Insulator | Shoot with the light source in front (front lighting) at a 20° downward angle to clearly identify the crossarm, clamp structure, and bolts. |  | |
| 6 | Right Insulator | Clearly capture small components such as bolts, nuts, locking pins, and insulators. When hardware parts obstruct each other, take photos from multiple angles. |  | |
| 7 | Large-Number Side Corridor | Keep the pole top level and capture a complete corridor overview while facing the large-number side. |  |
