Abstract: Electrical energy transmission line insulators are one of the important elements used at connection points in overhead transmission lines and whose main task is insulation. Since they generally do
not require maintenance, they need to be replaced immediately when they are damaged due to weather
conditions or any reason, while their replacement is delayed because they are not followed by a tracking system. Progressive preliminary studies are needed to develop automatic detection and tracking
systems. In this context, there is a need to implement and design a system that can automatically detect
damaged isolators from image data using artificial intelligence. In order to meet this need, a CNN model based on isolator images was designed and tested in this study. As a result of the test, the average
prediction value was reached with an accuracy of 89%, and the defective insulators were determined as
completely correct.
