Remote Sensing for Power Grid Fuse Tripping Using AI-Based Fiber Sensing with Aerial Telecom Cables

For the first time, we demonstrate remote sensing of pole-mounted fuse-cutout blowing in a power grid setup using telecom fiber cable. The proposed frequency-based AI model achieves over 98% detection accuracy using distributed fiber sensing data.
