The techniques for monitoring and diagnosing high voltage equipment currently used by energy utilities have some technical limitations, such as their invasive nature, low reliability and difficulty in application. A radiometric monitoring method is presented applied to some high voltage equipment (isolators, transformers and circuit breakers), based on computational routines and the use of monopole antennas printed with bioinspired geometry. The technique facilitates the monitoring procedure, in addition to making it more efficient.
