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 …
Transmission power lines are essential to supply electrical energy to consumption centers. Keeping a reliable transmission system requires the early identification of faults. Image …
Power distribution grids are typically installed outdoors and are exposed to environmental conditions. When contamination accumulates in the structures of the network, there may be …
Insulators installed outdoors are vulnerable to the accumulation of contaminants on their surface, which raise their conductivity and increase leakage current until a flashover occurs …
Contamination on insulators may increase the surface conductivity of the insulator, and as a consequence, electrical discharges occur more frequently, which can lead to interruptions in …
Contaminated insulators can have higher surface conductivity, which can result in irreversible failures in the electrical power system. In this paper, the ultrasound equipment is …
Outdoor insulators may experience stress due to severe environmental conditions, such as pollution and contamination. Through the identification of partial discharges by ultrasonic …
Electric power is increasingly being used in the globalized day-to-day and keeping the electric power system running is necessary. Insulators are important components of the …
The contamination of insulators increases their surface conductivity, resulting in a higher chance of shutdowns occurring. To measure contamination, equivalent salt deposit density …
