Composite insulator has been widely used in highvoltage electric power transmission system owing to its advantages such as light weight, anti-pollution flashover and less routine maintenance. With the increasing number of compositor insulators and their running years, the aging of compositors draws attention to the related industries. Considering the aging problems of composite insulator, the material...
An icephobic surface is always desirable for high voltage overhead transmission lines to reduce ice formation on their aluminum surface, especially in a low temperature and high humidity environment. This work studied the effects of two hydrophobic coatings when applied on aluminum surfaces under cold and raining conditions in an artificial climatic chamber. Compared with bare hydrophilic aluminum...
Ice and snow accretion on power lines is a severe problem for power network and it can cause insulator flashover, wire breakage and tower falling down. Superhydrophobic surfaces have a water contact angle larger than 150deg. These surfaces are water repellent and water drops can not stay on the surface stably, which can mitigate ice accretion on the surface. A superhydrophobic aluminum surface with...
