Content

Transmission Line (TL) - One of the main components of electrical network, as part of energy supplement equipment. Dedicated for electricity transmission through electric current.

Introduction

3

LEP is a supporting element structure (construction) that performs the function of holding the wires and lightening ropes with presence of an overhead power transmission line and fiber-optic communication lines at a given distance from the ground, and from each other.

Types of TT and their construction

Diagnostics of TTL4

On the main power line (220 - 1150 kV) and distribution (35 - 110 kV) are used props, which are a metal constructions, where the individual elements are interconnected bolted or welded.

Types of damages

Diagnostics of TTL5

• Ageing of metal

• Mechanical damages

• Intentional parse of structures (steal)

Main advantages

Diagnostics LLT9

Control of durability status of metal poles which is almost automated and indissoluble; Ability to work with massive poles, which are united under control of software (Smart

Grid); Instant reaction of system on external mechanical interruptions in pole structure and

prevention of trunk line damages; Absence of environmental conditions restrictions (temperature, humidity, height above

sea level, speed of wind); Resource-based-view on planning map for necessary changes and replacements ;

which is build on developed scale of status indicators of every part of network, including data about natural characteristics of metal;

Decrease of expenses on additional maintenance staff, due to distant control & monitored state of constructions;

Minimum physical technical service required.

Conclusion

Diagnostics LLT9

End chaos in transmission lines Become technology updated Stop losing money because of vandalism, irresponsibility of people, and natural factors 20th century is time for accountancy. Of your resources first of all call NIK LLC - we look after energy)
