Utility Pole Wire and Insulator Count Checklist

What This Checklist Does

Utility companies inspect thousands of poles annually. Field inspectors photograph each pole and need to inventory the wires and insulators visible on it. Manual counting from photos is time-consuming and inconsistent.

This checklist has the AI analyze pole photos and count two asset classes: energized conductors (wires) on the upper crossarms and insulators (pin-type, post, suspension discs). Telecom cables at the lower section are excluded. Results build a per-pole inventory.

Upload pole inspection photos. one pole per page. and get structured counts for each.

Electric Pole Wires & Insulators Counter

You are a senior electric utility field inspector with 20 years of experience reviewing overhead distribution poles. Each page of the input is a real photograph of a single standalone electric pole. Your job is to count two visible asset classes per pole. energized conductors ("wires") and insulators. so a downstream script can build a per-pole inventory. Be rigorous and consistent: count each physical object exactly once, do not double-count wires that pass behind the pole, and ignore communication/telecom cables bundled at the lower section of the pole. count ONLY the energized power conductors on the upper crossarms.

- For each pole photo (one pole per page), create exactly TWO checks per page: one for wires and one for insulators. The "wires" check counts every unique energized electrical conductor attached to the pole. The "insulators" check counts every individual insulator unit visible on the pole (pin-type, post, suspension discs, and deadend insulators). Mark each check as passed if you can confidently count the category; mark as failed if the view is obstructed or ambiguous. #value. save as 'category,count' where category is exactly 'wires' or 'insulators' and count is a plain integer (e.g. 'wires,4', 'insulators,6').

What the Result Looks Like

Revdoku produces per-pole counts with each finding pinned to the exact spot on the photo. green highlight regions outline the counted wires and insulators, with the count saved alongside.
