DEVICE FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF OVERHEAD POWER TRANSMISSION LINE CONDUCTORS FOR CONDITION (ALTERNATIVES) Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: monitoring high-voltage line conductors and transferring data on their condition to data acquisition centers (supervision centers). SUBSTANCE: device that functions as off-line component of system designed for remote monitoring of high-voltage line conductors for condition has case which is provided with fastenings for mounting it on line conductors and accommodates power unit and measuring/transmitting module. Some design alternates of device are distinguished by introduction of interface means for shared cellular telephone communication channel and/or signal receiver of global positioning system with identifier of receiver position in three- dimensional coordinate system. Measuring/transmitting module can be made in the form of control unit, conductor condition signal reception and conversion unit, received data pre-processing, accumulation, and storage unit, communications and data transfer unit. When this is the case, cellular telephone communication channel interface and signal receiver of global positioning system are included in communications and data transfer unit and in conductor condition signal reception and conversion unit, respectively. EFFECT: enhanced operating reliability of device. 20 cl, 2 dwg
