AUTONOMOUS APPARATUS FOR LOCATING CABLE DAMAGE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01R31/08 G01N22/02 G01N23/00 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrical engineering and can be used to locate sites of damage in cable power lines. Autonomous apparatus for locating cable damage comprises a pulse meter, radio telephones, a source of radioactive emission installed in the centre of a lead container in a vertical channel located along the axis of symmetry thereof, a gate mechanism, pressure springs with balls, an ejection electromagnet consisting of a radiation-resistant winding and a steel armature rod, a controlled chassis containing a supporting frame, driving wheels, steering wheels, a steering unit, an electric drive for the driving wheels, two jacks, and a retaining frame made with symmetrical side protrusions, an autonomous control unit containing an accumulator battery, alarm lights, an electronic unit, a time delay element, and a comparing unit; and the electric drive for the driving wheels additionally comprises a travelled distance sensor.

EFFECT: minimised deviation of the autonomous apparatus for locating cable damage from the site of cable damage.
