The synergistic effect of micro structure/nanofiller/superhydrophobicity on the surface flashover
The surface flashover is affected by many factors, such as surface roughness, nanofillers and chemical functional groups. In this research study, polyamide mesh was utilised as a scaffold to systematically study the synergistic effect of micro structure ...

ABSTRACT Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) inspection of overhead transmission line composite insulators allows for the rapid acquisition of large amounts of infrared images of insulators in service, which can be used to analyse their operational status. However, efficiently and accurately analysing these images remains a challenge.

ABSTRACT For designing aeronautical components, the creepage distance is usually estimated by considering the pollution level and the dielectric material group as defined by the standard IEC 60664‐1. The material group is expressed by the comparative tracking index (CTI) performed at atmospheric pressure following the standard IEC 60112.

ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of six machine learning algorithms for automated hydrophobicity classification in composite insulators using contour‐based image features. A robust image‐processing pipeline was developed to extract statistical features from water droplet patterns on insulator surfaces, enabling objective ...
