A computer based system, computer program product, and method for managing geographically distributed assets. A computer based system, computer program product, and method are provided for managing geographically distributed electric power transmission assets. Mapping, routing, and asset location information is managed and combined with real time Global Positioning System (GPS) location information to alarm field maintenance and inspection crews prior to inadvertent entry into restricted areas, such as environmentally protected or otherwise restricted lands. Detailed information is maintained on the electric power transmission assets providing management insight into past performance, as well as predictive information as to future costs and performance.

Computer based system, computer program product and method for managing geographically distributed assets

System for tracking or identifying the phase designation, and/or measuring the phase angle or the power angle of electrical conductors at a remote location relative to a reference location, by measuring a time delay between an external clock source such as GPS and a zero crossing or other specified part of the waveform, associating a 'time tag' with each measurement, transmitting the time tags and measurement values over a bi-directional link between a field unit and a reference unit, and calculating and displaying a relative phase angle and/or a phase designation. The system finds application, for example, in identifying the phase of conductors, and optionally comparing their phase angle and/or their power angle, before making connections between conductors in a multi-phase electrical power distribution system.
