Study on power supply system by using CT in high-voltage transmission lines

Abstract

In online monitoring of the transmission line, its power supply is one of the key issues. This study presents a device using special transformer which can induce power to supply the high side circuitry. The front-end of the protection device includes output-power-control circuitry, which can take output-power limited to a small range. At the back side it contains rechargeable lithium batteries. By using the reasonable control strategy, it can provide a stable output-power at the transmission line current ranging from 40 to 1500A. And in the larger current the fever of transformer is not serious. Experiments show that the power supply system has the high reliability and efficiency. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2013.
