Zusammenfassung:Conductor (100) with a monitoring system, comprising: a load- bearing core (102), made of composite material; one or more electrically conductive layers (104), externally associated with said load-bearing core (102); two or more optical fibers (101), arranged longitudinally along said load-bearing core (102), on a radially external surface of the same; a BOTDR system (200), associated with said optical fibers (101) and configured for reading a bending radius of said load-bearing core (102) and/or for determining the presence of cracks on said load-bearing core (102) and/or for determining the position of said cracks; and/or for determining a maximum allowable bending radius; a processing unit (300) configured for generating, as a function of said reading, a notification signal in the event that critical parameters are reached.
