Corrosion Detection of ACSR Power Lines Using Non-Destructive Test Method

비파괴 탐상에 의한 ACSR 전선의 결함 검출

This paper deals with the development and application of an inner corrosion detector for the ACSR(Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) power lines. The detector runs on an ACSR power line and inspects the inner corrosion of the conductor using the technology of the nondestructive eddy current test. It is consists of an ECT sensor, signal processing units, a RF transmitter/receiver, and etc.. The experimental result through field tests shows the detector can efficiently find both the zinc and aluminum loss of ACSR power lines.
