System for detecting the extraordinary approach of objects having earth potential toward a power transmission line

摘要

A detector for detecting an extraordinary approach of objects having earth potential toward a power transmission line comprises a charging current detection circuit for measuring variations in a charging flowing from the power transmission line into a stray capacitance formed between a detector casing and the earth and a transmitter for sending the value measured by the charging current detection circuit to a receiver installed outside the detector casing by wireless means or a wire. The detector is always able to monitor the extraordinary approach of objects such as trees toward the power transmission line, thereby preventing in advance the accidental grounding of the line.
