Evaluation of a New Protective Coating for Porcelain Insulators
This paper describes the evaluation of a new elastomeric coating made from a silicone rubber compound for use on porcelain insulators. Field experience has shown that coated insulators have a lower flashover probability under wet contaminated operation than uncoated insulators.
Resistance Graded Insulators - The Ultimate Solution to the Contamination Problem?
The results of field experience and greatly increased laboratory test data on Resistance Graded insulators are reported. The continued success of this approach to the solution of severe contamination problems is confirmed. Parameters for future consideration and design of insulators using this approach are given.
