Abstract
Problems, such as the destruction of insulators, the slope of the poles of power lines and a small layer of icing, will go unnoticed and can lead to serious consequences, such as a break in power lines and falling poles. If an accident occurs on the line, the repair team must drive along the entire path of the power line from the beginning to the point of the accident, if the terrain allows transportation. Provided that some power lines can be hundreds of kilometers long, troubleshooting can take several hours or even days. Using robotic systems will speed up the search and repair processes. This article discusses the types of damage that occur on overhead power lines and modern solutions to these problems.
