Abstract

Potential transfer is an essential link in equipotential live-line work (EPLW), which has a potential safety hazard. To ensure the safety of the linemen, this paper conducted experimental research on this process. First, to investigate the discharge characteristics of the potential transfer gap in EPLW, this paper developed a simplified experimental platform to examine the relationship between the transfer voltage and gap distance, as well as the electrode structure, during the potential transfer process. Second, to explore the discharge development process of potential transfer, this paper built a discharge observation experimental platform to observe the discharge process and explore the effects of gap distance and type of the floating electrode on the discharge development process and potential transfer current. The research results are valuable for practical projects and linemen safety.
