“…Due to the remote location or poor environment and other reasons, manual confirmation cannot be carried out at the remote operation site. At present, some stations use image recognition, pressure sensing and other methods to assist in determining the position of the isolation switch, but the above-mentioned position monitoring methods still have many problems in terms of stability, accuracy and adaptability, such as the equipment installation of pressure sensing, deployment and replacement without power failure, and the wear and oxidize of micro switch contacts (Liu et al, 2018;Cai et al, 2017;Teng et al, 2019). Existing methods for monitoring the opening and closing positions of isolation switches have certain limitations (Cheng and Xiang, 2020).…”
