Tension poles bear significant mechanical loads and are critical points in 10kV power lines. This page outlines the essential UAV inspection checkpoints—including insulators, crossarms, hardware, foundation conditions, and conductor tension areas—to ensure safe and reliable operation.
| 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 to accurately distinguish the full pole structure and tower angles. | ![]() | |
| 2 | Pole Number Plate | Ensure the pole number plate is clearly identifiable. | ![]() | |
| 3 | Pole Foundation | Clearly show the ground conditions around the foundation. | ![]() | |
| 4 | Left Insulator | Clearly capture small hardware such as bolts, nuts, locking pins, and insulators. If hardware parts are obstructing each other, take photos from multiple angles. | ![]() | |
| 5 | Top of Insulator | Shoot with sunlight direction (front lighting) at a 20° downward angle to clearly identify the crossarm, clamp structure, and bolts. | ![]() | |
| 6 | Right Insulator | Clearly capture small hardware such as bolts, nuts, locking pins, and insulators. If hardware parts are obstructing each other, take photos from multiple angles. | ![]() | |
| 7 | Main Line Corridor (Large-Number Side) | Keep the pole top parallel and capture a complete overview of the corridor facing the large-number side. | ![]() |
