For over the last three decades, use of silicone rubber (SiR), in addition to the non-electrical
applications, has greatly increased for high voltage electrical insulation in the outdoor …

The aim of this article is to present a review of the development and application of
superhydrophobic insulation for outdoor high-voltage applications. The methods of …

Identifying defects in electrical power systems during field inspections is a difficult task, since
faults are generally not visible and may be intermittent. To find possible adverse conditions …

The pollution performance of insulators installed in transmission and distribution lines plays
a key role in maintaining the reliability, safety and cost-effectiveness of power systems …

Most of the research efforts to enhance the pollution performance of glass insulators have
been focused on room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber coatings to cover the …

Room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV-SiR) materials are broadly employed for
high voltage outdoor insulation applications. Like other polymeric materials, such insulators …

Silicone rubber (SiR) composites have been widely used for high voltage (HV) electrical and
non-electrical applications for the last three decades. To increase the long-term performance …

In the electrical distribution system, the insulating components may have their characteristics
compromised by several reasons such as contamination, cracks caused by vandalism, nest …

This paper proposes a new approach for insulator condition monitoring based on the
combination of the random under sampling technique with an adaptative boosting algorithm …

Silicone rubber (SIR) samples are fluorinated using a F2/N2 mixture at different
