Study on performance of 22 kV all-weather insulation for hot-line work robots

Summary form only given. Robots used in hot-line distribution work must be insulated to prevent short circuiting, ground faults, and electric shocks. The authors study and determine the optimal shapes and materials for the robot arms and work vehicle boom to which the robot is mounted in order to ensure the 22 kV all-weather insulation performance. This paper outlines the study and achievements.
