The invention relate to an intelligent device for circularly melting ice on a power transmission line with eight split sub-conductors by current. The external environment condition is monitored to judge whether the power transmission line is iced up or not, and an intelligent controller controls a circuit breaker to switch on and off to transfer the total current transmitted by the power transmission line to one part of the eight sub-conductors so as to increase the current density of the sub-conductors and achieve the purpose of melting ice. The intelligent controller adopts the load current measured by a current inducer, the icing state measured by an icing-parameter monitoring unit and the external environment condition to automatically compute the time spent on melting ice, controls the circuit breaker to transfer the current to the other part of the sub-conductors after the ice on one part of the sub-conductors is melted and returns to the normal work state until the ice on the eight split sub-conductors is completely melted and shed. During the working of the intelligent device, the intelligent controller is used for controlling integrally. The work standard of the intelligent controller is judged by the current inducer, the icing-parameter monitoring unit and the external environment condition. The intelligent device can be used for melting and removing the ice on the power transmission line without manual intervention.
