Topic:: Line Inspection Robot Using Hang-Hold Mechanism

The document discusses a proposed line inspection robot that uses a hang-hold mechanism. It introduces the challenges of inspecting electrical transmission lines and describes the traditional method of using technicians climbing lines to detect faults. Later, a robot was developed to drag along lines and use cameras to non-destructively scan for issues. However, this method has drawbacks when large obstructions are encountered that the robot cannot jump over. The proposed robot has a hang-hold mechanism that allows it to overcome obstructions, providing an improved way to inspect transmission lines.

Topic: Line inspection Robot using

Hang- Hold mechanism.

Introduction:
In the present scenario, we have come across many
challenges in the field of electrical transmission lines and
also in the distribution lines. Time has passed and many
necessities have been satisfied in the field of electrical
transmission systems. After the smart meters have
nourished the field, a new era is rising in the field of
electrical systems. So, it is time to bring up a different
and variable change in the field of transmission lines and
the current control in it. Transmission lines is a specialized
cables invented to carry alternating current with a
frequency that is high enough that their wave nature
must be taken into account (radio frequency). It carries
high voltage current to the distribution system. The two
systems together is known as power grids.
In the olden method of power transmission, the faults and
disturbances where diagnosed by with the help of a
technician, himself getting over the transmission lines
and repairing the faults. This was the traditional way of
fault detection. Later on, a robot was made which drags
along the transmission lines and detects the faults and
mistakes are scanned at regular intervals using a camera.
This scanner or the non destructive element takes
pictures which is used for non destructive testing, mainly
using ultrasonic waves, radio scanning methods, etc..

Fault detection mainly includes the faults in the


transmission lines, all the conductors are in proper order
ie., whether there is break in any conductors; to find out
the length parameters, to find out the voltage ratings, to
find the coronal losses. This already existing method has
many drawbacks and can be improvised further.
Here, we are trying to bring up a new method that
would overcome the faults in this method. Our proposed
system brings out a unique remedy and is different from
all other systems. In the existing system, when there is
an obstruction the robot jumps over it. This method is
satisfying when the obstruction is small, not is not when
its a large obstruction. The proposed system has a
mechanism which can overcome the problems arising in
it. The robot which we have innovated has a hang and
hold mechanism which includes a camera for scanning
the faults. This can overcome the drawback found in the
existing method. This system is modified so that only a
perfect system with advanced integration of technology
can manage system, where the proposed system is the
perfect one to overcome all these difficulties.
