METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATING FAULTS IN OVERHEAD POWER TRANSMISSION LINES

摘要

The claimed group of inventions relates to power engineering and can be used for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines. A method for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines comprises installing, on a lightning-protector cable or power conductor, an apparatus for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines, controlling the movement of said apparatus, controlling the operation of apparatuses for inspecting the overhead power transmission lines, and receiving, processing and analyzing data produced by said apparatuses. Furthermore, the placement and control of the movement of the fault-locating apparatus are carried out with the aid of a helicopter-type aircraft. The apparatus for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines comprises a control system, apparatuses for inspecting the overhead power transmission lines, and a drive system, wherein the apparatus additionally comprises a helicopter-type aircraft. A component of the apparatus for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines comprises a control system, apparatuses for inspecting the overhead power transmission lines, and a drive system, wherein the structure is additionally equipped with guides. The technical problem addressed by the claimed method and apparatus for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines is that of expanding the range of resources. The technical problem addressed by the component of the claimed apparatus is that of expanding the range of resources and simplifying the process for installing the apparatus for locating faults in overhead power transmission lines on a lightning-protector cable or power conductor.
