Conductor cars are widely applied during different live-line activities on bundled phase conductors: they ensure a stable, but movable platform for the workers to execute even long and difficult tasks in a safe and ergonomic way. In the High Voltage Laboratory of Budapest University of Technology and Economics a new type of conductor car is being developed. Not only the design, but the material selection...
Hungary was one of the pioneers of high voltage live-line maintenance in the 1960s. Many of the currently applied technologies and equipment is related to the developments of Dr. Béla Csikós, one of the pioneers of this technology. Nowadays different working methods are used worldwide for the maintenance of the energized components of the high voltage grid. As a part of an international project, Budapest...
Live-line maintenance (LLM) has special requirements for the equipment, which protects the LLM personnel from different kinds of hazards - especially in high voltage transmission systems. Conductive clothing provide protection for the primary effects of the high electric field acting as a Faraday cage. However, this kind of protection cannot guarantee the proper safety against all other possible threats...
