Generating Electricity from Induction of 150 kV / 500 kV AC

My god, do you know what is the life?

Yes, I know how to do it. No, I won't tell you. It's both illegal and dangerous (even for a certified, try-anything idiot like me).

yes it is possible if you have a substation with suitable circuit breakers and transformers connected to the to 150kV/ 500 kV transmission line ,so that the HT voltage can be step down the required voltage level and install a rectifier unit with required control panel for safe handling.

Hello pdkb_indonesia

Remember that in your presumed location of Indonesia, you are susceptible to frequent lightning strikes.

Thus the simple equipment you hope to use is extremely dangerous to the user, even without the risk of your equipment and yourself being involved in a lightning surge.

Truly, that's the reason for all of the expensive hardware: Insulators, Transformers, EHV Circuit Breakers, EHV Isolating Switchgear, Protection Relays, Ground Mat Bonding and Earthing, locked Security Compound, and so much more required for an electrical substation, to make your proposal a safe one.

does not advise readers a way of probable electrocution on the cheap, as you are asking.

Kind Regards....

Sorry the parasitic induction is not only illegal but has plenty of variables that change with weather, load, and system. It has become more common so power companies look for it.

Use a long wire off the ground, somewhere else, for static collection. You will still need lightning protection but Indonesian jails are less than nice. About as complicated but other than lightning not so dangerous.

Also you would not be generating "electricity from AC 150 kV/500 kV transmission line." Some one else is generating it, you would be taking it the same as if you hooked up a power line to it.

In a recent episode of Mythbusters they suspended a coil next to a high tention line in an attempt to parasitically draw off power. The amount of voltage and current they were able to produce was miniscule. To suck off any meaningful amount of power you would need a humongous coil which would require a tower next to the high tention line to support (how huge - anybodys guess).

Now, since this would stick out like a sore thumb, and you'd be taking power from the power producer, don't you think they would take a rather dim view of it?

And, as others have pointed out lightning would be a big danger. Also, how are you going to adjust the distance between the coil and the power line as humidity goes up and down? Who's going to shinny up your tower to scooch the coil a bit closer?

All in all, a bad plan. If you need power, either pay for it from the utility or get a battery.

Thanks everyone for the input..

sorry for late replying the comment, quite bussy this time..

the reason i ask this question is that i want to make a security system in transmission tower which is need dc power supply.. in indonesia, our transmission line is very far away from 220 v power supply, for example we have it on jungles, mountain, hills, ect..

that's why i wanna know how i can use the induction of 150/500 kV transmission line to make a dc power supply..

maybe anyone could tell me how to do it?

Hello pdkb_indonesia

Could you send me a PM via the Mailbox system, giving the Organisation you work for, their website, along with your email address at that Company's mail system.

I then shall check and send you a test email to ensure that you actually work there, and are in a responsible position.

Once this has been established, then I may further advise you.

As you may well appreciate, for safety and other reasons, it is not wise to place technical information of what you ask onto a public accessed Forum, where it may be read by unskilled/unqualified persons.

If I do decide to send you information, it would be the best care, but no responsibility for or myself for information supplied.

I trust you accept the above.

Kind Regards....
