In the present literature survey, we focused on the performance of polymeric materials
encompassing silicone rubber (SiR), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and …

To improve the monitoring of the electrical power grid, it is necessary to evaluate the
influence of contamination in relation to leakage current and its progression to a disruptive …

Electrical power grid insulators installed outdoors are exposed to environmental conditions,
such as the accumulation of contaminants on their surface. The contaminants increase the …

An electric power distribution utility is responsible for providing energy to consumers in a
continuous and stable way. Failures in the electrical power system reduce the reliability …

To maintain the supply of electrical energy, it is necessary that failures in the distribution grid
are identified during inspections of the electrical power system before shutdowns occur. To …

Insulators of the electrical power grid are usually installed outdoors, so they suffer from
environmental stresses, such as the presence of contamination. Contamination can increase …

The contamination of insulators increases their surface conductivity, resulting in a higher
chance of shutdowns occurring. To measure contamination, equivalent salt deposit density …

This work aimed to study the influence of contamination profiles and humidity on flashover
electrical characteristics of polluted insulators. Firstly, the flashover tests on cap and pin …

Disruptive failures threaten the reliability of electric supply in power branches, often
indicated by the rise of leakage current in distribution insulators. This paper presents a …

Insulators are considered one of the most significant parts of power systems which can affect
the overall performance of high-voltage (HV) transmission lines and substations. High …
