DEVICE FOR ICE REMOVAL FROM POWER TRANSMISSION LINE WIRE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H02G7/16 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: device contains a housing, which is designed with a possibility of its mounting on a wire. Also it is provisioned with transportation means and ice removal devices. The transportation mean is designed as the container, filled with calcium carbide with a possibility of ensuring its contact with the humidified ice on a wire. To create the device moving force the jet force zero occurring from inflaming of acetylene, formed during chemical reaction as a result of interaction of calcium carbide with water. When ice is removed from a wire, heat is used, which is released as a result of chemical reaction and acetylene burning. Behind the combustor the turbine driving wheel with a mill is installed, and the turbine wheel is rigidly connected to the device housing. The igniting device is installed in the combustor located in front of the turbine wheel. In the front part of the device for ice humidifying the spring-loaded devices are located with a high ice friction coefficient, and in the combustor the starting powder charge is located.

EFFECT: increase of the device operation productivity and improvement of quality of ice removal.
