Abstract:
A method and a device for automatic completing of a socket joint at a line for electrical high voltage with an additional joint in the form of a shunt is described. It comprises a first support (5), provided to be lifted by a lifting means, like a crane or an helicopter, and comprises further at least one driving wheel (6, 7) to fit-up at a line and a driving means (8, 9) for driving said wheel. The support is provided with first means (13) for placing at least first and second wedge element (15, 16) fit-up at each its end of said socket joint. The support (5) also comprises second means (14) for placing first and second wedge socket means (19, 20), at least partly surrounding said line, cooperating with each its said wedge element. At least one traction element (23, 24) is provided to pull together, upon acting by a motor means (11), the wedge socket elements with the wedge elements, surrounded by them, to be fixed, locking, around the line at each side of the socket joint. The device also comprises communication means for remote control of the driving means, said first and second means and the motor means.
Abstract:
A device for the automatic control of electrical high voltage lines is described, comprising a first support (1), a driving wheel (2), for lying against the line (3) with a remotely controlled driving device (4), means for remotely controlled automatical measurement of physical data at the joint (3a) in question, and means for the transfer of measurement data to a receiver and a shielding means (15) for these means. The device is characterized primarily in that it is provided with guide rail means (7, 8, 9) for steering of the device, carried by a lifting means like a helicopter or crane, of same to lying of said driving wheel (2) against a line, and that said physical measurement concerns non contacting as well as contacting measurement in the vicinity of and at the joint in question.
