Abstract :
This experiment investigates on the possibility of inducting energy directly from transmission line for inspection robot on high-voltage transmission line. In this experiment, the first aspect analyzed was the influence of amount of current flowing through high-voltage line on the energy induced. The second aspect analyzed in the experiment was the influence of resistance in the secondary side on the energy induced. The experiments show that it is possible and even advantageous for a robot to use a CT system to provide the energy. This system would be light and reliable.
