Improve the insulation performance of air‐insulated gaps: Application of polyurea materials on the ground potential side of transmission line

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
Abstract The authors aim to explore the effectiveness of two‐component polyurea materials applied to transmission line towers (on the ground potential side) in improving the insulation performance of the conductor–tower gap. The physicochemical and electrical properties of the polyurea materials were first analysed and a conductor–tower gap testing ...
