Catenary is essential for electric locomotives to obtain electric energy, and it is crucial to the
normal and stable operation of electric locomotives. However, the catenary is completely …

Polymeric insulators, in particular silicone rubber (SIR) are lightweight, have good
hydrophobicity characteristics, and are easy to carry and install. They are commonly used for …

The leakage current characteristic monitoring of transmission line insulators is considered a
worthy technique for insulator state prediction. In this paper, the harmonic analysis of …

Under natural conditions, insulators show a nonuniform pollution state, which has a great
influence on the switching impulse flashover voltage of insulators. Meanwhile, the insulation …

Hollow porcelain insulators in substations are frequently confronted with rain flashovers
under extreme rainfall. This study aims to investigate the spatial and temporal variation of …

Roof insulators are one of the key pieces of equipment to ensure the electrical safety of high-
speed railways (HSRs). When the umbrella skirt of a roof insulator is seriously polluted in …
