We have an instrument that was made by Exergen (made to put on a hot stick and measure a line energized), but is no longer produced. It was only about $1200. At the time, that was a bargain, compared to the IR cameras. I'm trying to see if there is anything else out there like what we had at that kind of price.

Both examples would use completely different instruments and techniques.

This can be important on a dynamic rating, since the same factors would apply. You want to make sure you don't allow the line to sag below a certain level at maximum load, whether from expected load or emergency load.

But, yes, there are times you try to determine sag characteristics of an existing line. There are many reasons why this might be necessary.
