| 20110192627 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING A COMPONENT OF AN ELECTRICAL POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - An apparatus and method are disclosed for protecting a component of an electrical power transmission system. The apparatus comprises: a dielectric cover having opposed portions that define a component enclosing space when in a closed position; the dielectric cover having an open position in which enclosing edges of the opposed portions are spaced to allow entry of the component between the enclosing edges into the dielectric cover; and a spreader, connected to the opposed portions for moving the opposed portions into the closed position, and having a tool connector for operation of the spreader by a tool. The spreader may be configured to exert positive control in use to hold the opposed portions in position over a range of positions between the closed position and an open position. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110083783 | CONDUCTOR COVER APPLICATOR - An applicator is disclosed for applying a tubular conductor cover to a cable, the conductor cover being split longitudinally to define a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, the applicator comprising: a head having a separator shaped to contact, in operation of the applicator, an interior surface of the conductor cover to spread open the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge along a portion of the conductor cover to allow the portion of the conductor cover to be applied to a cable. A method is also disclosed of applying tubular conductor cover to a cable, the conductor cover being split longitudinally to define a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, the method comprising: spreading open the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge of a portion of the conductor cover with a separator on a head, the separator contacting an interior surface of the conductor cover; and applying a length of conductor cover to the cable through the head. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110019902 | PHOTOGRAMMETRIC METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENT OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - A method is disclosed comprising: imaging a feature of a component of an electrical power transmission system for example in combination with a reference component or feature of known dimensions, the reference component or feature comprising a reference, to produce one or more images; analyzing the one or more images with a photogrammetry algorithm to measure the feature of the component; and placing a protector at least partially over the component, the protector being selected to fit the component based on the measurement of the feature. In some embodiments the method may further comprise making the protector based on the measurement of the feature. A method is also disclosed comprising: remotely placing a reference object into a position that is inside a safe Limit of Approach and in the vicinity of a feature of a component of an energized live electrical power transmission system, the reference object comprising a reference; imaging a combination of the reference and the feature of the component to produce one or more images; and analyzing the one or more images with a photogrammetry algorithm to measure the feature of the component. | 01-27-2011 |
