Insulators

Fault Detection: Insulation tests key to preventing system breakdowns

January 26, 2016

Maintaining the reliability of power supply systems is becoming increasingly important as electrical installations get more and more complex. Power failures and even blackouts of short durations can have a significant impact on consumers, especially […]

Insulators

Damage Control: Combating the effects of pollution on insulators through proper maintenance

January 26, 2016

With the rising electricity demand and increase in the bulk transfer of power, it has become imperative for transcos to improve the efficiency of networks, including lines and substations. System efficiency is measured mainly in […]

Insulators

Design Criteria: Reliability, costs and safety remain key considerations

January 26, 2016

The insulation of transmission lines influences their cost and reliability. Therefore, there is a need to lower the chances of line failure and simultaneously reduce the cost of insulation. Design considerations for insulators have evolved […]

Insulators

Insulator Materials: Glass and porcelain dominate while polymers slowly gain ground

January 26, 2016

Insulators are a key component of overhead lines and are used to insulate live conductors from transmission and distribution towers. They are also required to carry high tension or compressive loads. For the successful utilisation […]

Insulators

Insulator Types: Voltage level defines equipment choice

January 26, 2016

Insulators are widely used in overhead transmission lines to provide mechanical support and electrical protection, as well as in distribution lines and substations. In transmission and distribution (T&D) systems, overhead conductors are usually supported by […]

Insulators

Positive Indications: Power sector reforms increase opportunities in insulator industry

January 26, 2016

Insulators are deployed in power systems to prevent the unwanted flow of current to the earth from the supporting points, and are critical for conducting secure operations. The key application areas of these devices include […]
