Research on insulation protection system for HV live working robot

Abstract

In the paper, an insulation protection system for high-voltage live working robot applicable to 10 kV distribution power systems is introduced. According to the current high-voltage live working conditions with the relevant requirements of the insulation protection system and the relevant national standards, a high-voltage insulation protection system which not only meets the needs of robot operation but also to ensure the safety of robot electrical system and the operators is designed. The insulation protection system includes the insulation design of insulation arm, working bucket and electrical system, taking the operation needs of live working robot and the safety requirements fully into account on material selection and construction design. The testing results show that the insulation properties meet the security requirements of live working.
