To prevent an insulator failure, an automatic cleaning and inspection robot was developed for suspension insulator strings. The robot autonomously moves along the insulator string using the clamps installed on its two moving frames. Especially, unlike the existing cleaning robots using jets of water, the robot system adopts a dry cleaning method using rotating brushes and a circular motion guide. In addition, a mechanized brush bristles and a voltage-balancing contactor are devised to increase cleaning efficiency and to prevent arc generation under live-line conditions, respectively. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.

It is important to determine of tower type whether suspension or tension tower in overhead transmission lines. When we select to tower type, we have need to check of swing angle for suspension string sets. And jumper wire of T/L in the strong wind area have to analysis of swing angle in order to clearance or length of tower arms. This paper is summarized the methods to calculate of swing angle for suspension string sets and jumper wires, and is calculated the swing angle. The calculated result have proposed to improved design specifications of overhead transmission line.

345kV급 210KN 초고압 현수애자의 개발 시험 결과, 과전파괴하중시험에서 품질관리지수가 3.0 이상인 11.2였으며, 유중파괴전압시험에서는 기준치보다 40% 정도 높은 값을 보였다. 그리고 72kA$\cdot$ Cycle $\pm$10% 조건의 power arc시험에 파괴없이 만족하였으며, 경년변화시험 후의 확인시험에서도 품질관리지수가 11.47로 높게 나타났다. 애자련의 피로시험 및 진동피로시험 후의 하중확인시험에서도 기준치보다 10% 이상의 값을 보였다. 전체적인 시험조건에서 경년변화시험의 조건이 가장 가혹한 것으로 나타났다.

In our previous paper, we developed an insulator inspection robot system for a suspension insulator string in the 345kV power transmission line. However, this robot cannot be applied to a tension insulator string, because its constituent insulators are different in diameter and height from those of a suspension insulator string. To solve this problem, we developed a new live-line insulator inspection robot system that is applicable to both suspension and tension insulator strings. We confirmed its effectiveness through live-line performance tests.
