Abstract: Provided is an insulating coating device for an electric wire, including a pressing pipe. The pressing pipe includes two first pressing parts which are configured to divide the pressing pipe into two parts along a longitudinal cross section of the pressing pipe, an inner wall of the pressing pipe is provided with an air bag, and the air bag is provided with an air pipe joint which penetrates to an outside of the pressing pipe. In the insulating coating device for the electric wire, a self-curing insulating material is coated on joints of the electric wires, the air bag is used to squeeze the self-curing insulating material such that the self-curing insulating material is shaped and compacted, so that cavities generated in a coating process is reduced, and the self-curing insulating material is uniformly attached to the joints of the electric wires.

Abstract: A system for housing a drone for inspecting a section of electrical grid includes a nest connected to a power supply and positioned on a powerline structure. The nest can be configured to house a drone; charge the drone while the drone is housed; and receive an alert from a server, the alert indicating a geolocation of a detected radio frequency (RF) event. The system can also include a drone. The drone can include at least one RF sensor and can be configured to, in response to the alert being received by the nest, autonomously travel to the geolocation; perform RF measurements via the at least one RF sensor at the geolocation; upload the RF measurements to the server; and return to the nest.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for the installation of dual line spacers, triple line spacers or quad line spacers on transmission power lines. A robotic assembly is configured to traverse along 2, 3 or 4 wires using motorized wheel mechanisms, where the robotic assembly can hold a number of 2, 3 or 4-wire spacers and dispense them onto the wires for installation. The robotic assembly uses impact wrenches that can position onto the fastening bolts of the line spacers and tighten the bolts to hold the line spacers on the wires. Once a line spacer is installed, the robotic assembly releases the installed line spacer and then traverses along the wires to the next position for a next line spacer to be installed.
