Abstract
Here, we present a protocol for fabricating a drone-deployable electric current sensor for real-time, remote monitoring of electric currents in overhead transmission lines. We describe steps for designing and manufacturing the board in Autodesk EAGLE and the signal processing units. We then detail procedures for programming routines on the Arduino Due to process data and curve visualization environment for Bluetooth-received data in MATLAB. The system supports data exchange up to 60 meters, contributing to the advancement of electric grid digitalization.
