Abstract
A method of locating a fault on a power line conductor includes measuring a change in magnitude from a load current to a fault current with a first 'C' loop coil through an electric power line conductor. At least one camera is selected based on a polarity of the load current and the fault current. An image is captured with the at least one camera assembly in the direction of a fault.
