Defective suspension insulators flashover, severely compromised their mechanical integrity. This can result in prolonged power outages and downed power lines. Downed power transmission lines pose a serious threat to people and our environment.
The Insulator Tester that record defect and reveal dangerous conditions on energized suspension insulators, station posts, bushings, and lightning arresters. The Insulator Testers sense and record the electric field distribution along the insulators, revealing all conductive insulator defects. The E-field Testers can be used on all types of insulators (Porcelain, Composite, Glass* for contamination assessment, etc.) and produce inherently accurate results.
We use highly accurate high voltage insulators, particularly when you consider that a damaged, electrically deficient insulator can lead to system failure, serious injury, wildfires, or loss of life. Insulator Testers are a major advance in ensuring suspension insulator integrity, allowing for the safe and reliable performance evaluation of critical high voltage insulators.
