Discharge Test of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Live High-voltage Wires

Abstract

In this paper, tests were carried out on the working state and the dischargestatus of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV) motorwith different distances between the UAV and 110kV and 220kV live high-voltage wires. The results showed that the UAV could still keep regular operation when the distance between the 110kV wire and the UAV motor was 0.5m.It ran properly at a distance of 1m from the 220kV wire.The wire suddenly discharged electricity and punched through the UAV when it was boosted to 200kV at a distance of 0.5m from the UAV motor, but the UAV motor was not damaged.
