Inductive Power Supply for Transmission Line Monitoring Systems

The demand for maintenance and inspection of transmission lines is increasing globally due to the expansion of renewable energy deployments, measures to combat aging power infrastructure, and the increase in extreme weather events associated with climate change. This product is a clamp-type induction power supply device that extracts power without contact by simply clamping it into the transmission line. It is easy to install and is designed to provide stable and continuous power supply to measuring instruments, sensors, and other field equipment for transmission line maintenance. It is also suitable for supplying power to sensors for Dynamic Line Rating to improve the operational efficiency of power grids.

Main Features

-------------------------------
  • The clamp‑type design enables on‑site installation without cutting the power line, helping to reduce installation time.
  • Using ferrite in the clamp’s magnetic core provides corrosion resistance and long‑term durability for outdoor use.
  • The design delivers a stable output for continuous operation of sensors and instruments and includes over‑current protection.
  • Two variants are offered: one for overhead lines and one for underground lines.
  • The non‑contact design combined with corrosion‑resistant materials minimizes the frequency of replacement, yielding a low‑maintenance solution.
  • It can be used as a power supply for sensors depending on the current state of the transmission line and is suitable for coordination with real-time monitoring systems (Dynamic Line Rating ).

Overview of Inductive Power Supplies

-------------------------------

An inductive power supply system consists of a current transformer (CT) section and a power supply section.
Changes in the alternating current (AC) flowing through the clamped wire cause variations in the magnetic flux within the CT core, inducing voltage (and current) in the coil.
The power supply section rectifies and smooths the AC obtained from the coil, then stabilizes it using a DC/DC converter or similar components to provide a DC power output.
The power supply section is controlled to ensure a stable supply of voltage and power within the specified AC current range of the wire.

Models for underground transmission lines:

The clamp shape is compatible with underground cables, and the ferrite is used as a magnetic material, so it is resistant to moisture and contamination.
For the underground model, 100 A yields roughly 10W, while 200A provides about 20W of power.
Adding an extra clamp improves power‑transfer efficiency.
