Design and Development of Three Arms Transmission Line Inspection Robot

Abstract

High-voltage transmission lines is one of the main elements in power distribution from the power plant or power station to the customer. However, the transmissions line is exposed to various environment conditions namely thermo-mechanical loading, mechanical tension, material degradation and material corrosion. The transmissions lines undergoing such circumstances eventually lead to many problems such as electrical breakdown or even major accident if transmissions lines were not being inspect, fixed and replaced in appropriate time [1].
