Composite insulators and their aging: An overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aging (biological deterioration) is a major problem of composite insulators now-a-days. The main thing in aging is to predict how, when and with what speed it occurs and under what conditions it can lead to failure and what overall average expected life of a composite insulator is. For this a lot of researches have been done. This review summarizes the methods of artificial field testing (aging), natural testing, standards the developed for aging, techniques of analysis, results achieved until now about various parameters from various locations, handling guidelines and a conclusion on what is further needed.

Designation of an Indicator for flashover prediction of porcelain and glass insulators based on experimental tests.
Flashover of polluted insulators in contaminated areas is one of the most important factors influencing the operation of transmission and distribution lines and finally line outages. Therefore, it is essential to prevent and detect flashover in the insulators. Hence, utilizing the insulator status monitoring systems and predicting their functions have absorbed a lot of attention over the recent...
متن کاملPerformance of Thermoplastic Elastomeric and Thermoset Insulators under Accelerated Acid Rain Multistress Conditions
Polymers are becoming the material of choice for high voltage outdoor insulators. However being mostly organic, they are susceptible to aging and degradation (weathering) due to environmental (and electrical) stresses. This necessitates the study of their long-term behavior. It is desirable to study the long-term performance of the insulators in the service environment under multistress conditi...

متن کاملAssessing Partial Discharge on Composite Insulators Under Desert Pollution Conditions
Transmission lines located in the Sinai desert are subjected to desert climate, one of whose features, especially in the spring, is sand storms. Line insulators are thus exposed to sand contamination, which may produce streamer discharges in the air surrounding insulator surface. Such discharges may lead to flashover. This paper examines the electric field and potential distributions on sand-po...
متن کاملEffect of Aging on Discoloration of Two Composite Surface Sealants
Objectives: Composite surface sealants were introduced aiming to prevent or decrease the discoloration and microleakage of composite restorations. This study sought to assess the effect of aging on discoloration of two composite surface sealants. Methods: In this experimental study, 24 samples were fabricated of Fortify Plus and BisCover LV composite surface sealants (10mm in diameter and 1mm ...
