Abstract:

Electrical energy generating from power plant is transmitted to electrical substations via high-voltage transmission lines. After a certain period time of use, the transmission line is required for maintenance such as insulator replacement. To avoid power interruption during insulator replacement, a corrective maintenance, hot line maintenance, is performed. This research focused on the hot line insulator replacement of 230 kV Bangsapan-Chumporn and 230 kV Chumporn-Suratthani transmission lines transferring power between southern and central regions of Thailand. The maintenance of 230 kV double suspension string for two bundles with arcing horn required developed C.B.T. hot end yoke tool to enhance stability and availability of electrical energy during hot line insulator replacement. C.B.T was named by the initial letter of the name of Chumporn Bandon and Takuapa transmission lines under authorization of the maintenance section in responsible maintaining service of transmission lines in upper southern provinces. The developed C.B.T hot end yoke device for hot line insulator replacement could save about 2.67 million bahts during 7-hour of maintenance time of EGAT payment.
