SIGNAL TRANSMITTING SYSTEM FOR EXTRA HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINE

摘要

An apparatus for providing power for transmitting relaying signals from an extra high voltage transmission line to ground potential which avoids the use of a high cost current transformer and which is immediately effective to provide such signals when the transmission line is initially energized to protect such line if it is energized when a fault is present. The apparatus supplies the power from ground potential to line potential by means of sonic quantity transmitted from a first transducer to a second transducer through an elongated rod-like insulating member which preferably is caused to vibrate at its resonant frequency.
