Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of live-line working technology, and more specifically, it relates to an insulation protection device for live-line working in low-voltage power distribution networks. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, low-voltage distribution networks are often characterized by complex wiring, with upper and lower lines on the same pole often originating from different power sources. When handling line faults and defects, power supply personnel sometimes need to climb poles and traverse the lower-level lines on the same pole to carry out emergency repairs on the upper-level lines. During emergency repairs, to minimize the power outage area, low-voltage live-line work, also known as on-line work, is typically performed on the lower-level lines. Before conducting live-line work, insulating protective devices are usually used to wrap the lines to protect the workers.

[0003] The current method involves wrapping the lower-level lines with insulating tape. This method is simple to use, easy to carry, and has relatively low operating costs. It is suitable for all low-voltage lines, but the operation is slow and there may be exposed points, which can easily lead to accidental contact.

[0004] Furthermore, the method of wrapping low-voltage power distribution wires with insulating tape is time-consuming and laborious, and also reduces the overall efficiency of power distribution wire maintenance after the live work is completed. Utility Model Content

[0032] More specifically, the user can place the upper insulating cylinder 1 and the lower insulating cylinder 2 on the upper and lower sides of the low-voltage distribution line that needs insulation protection, and make the first side plate 3 and the second side plate 4 contact each other. Then, the connecting screw 6 is screwed into the threaded hole 5 to fix the upper insulating cylinder 1 and the lower insulating cylinder 2.
