Supplying power to a new industrial consumer a new work technique in live-line developed to change the type of towers

Abstract

This article presents the live-line work technique, which has been developed to change the type of a tower from suspension to tension. It was necessary to allow the sectioning of the 138 kV Overhead Power Distribution Line. This allows to power a new industrial consumer in a new double circuit, without interruption of the supply of an industrial customer already in operation connected to the 138 kV Overhead Power Distribution Line. Stages of planning and implementation are detailed in this article, with particular attention to the adopted safety measures adopted for the successful development of the activity.
