Feasibility study on application of microwave radiometry to monitor contamination level on insulator materials [PDF]
, 2016 This paper introduces a novel method for monitoring contamination levels on high voltage insulators based on microwave radiometry. Present contamination monitoring solutions for high voltage insulators are only effective in predicting flashover risk when
