24、nsulator flashover due to contamination has existed as long as outdoor insulationitself. Insulator flashovers result in power outages that are expensive and hence undesirable. It was under-stood that in order to prevent flashover, the leakage current must be minimized. Room temperature vulcan(RTV) c
25、oatings minimize leakage current by preventing water filming on the insulator surface.The use of RTV coatings began on a trial basis since the 1970s. Large-scale application of the coatingsbegan in the 1980s. User experience of RTV coatings has been highly successful. But it must be mentionedthat fo
26、r any specific application, judgment and experience are required to analyze and balance the manycharacteristics, which are discussed to obtain satisfactory performance and reliability.The work toward this guide began in the early 1990s. Round robin tests were performed in several laborato-ries. Conc

This guide discusses various importa

However, it must be men-tioned that for any specific application, judgment, and experience are required to analyze and balance themany characteristics, which are discussed to obtain satisfactory performance and reliability.1.2 PurposeThis guide is intended for the use of RTV co
39、atings on ceramic and glass insulators.1.3 ApplicationsThis guide is specific enough to be applicable to porcelain and glass insulators in stations as well as trans-mission and distribution lines.RTV coatings are also in use for mitigating animal-induced outages in stations. The coatings used, and t
40、heimportant aspects, may be different than those used for insulator contamination performance improvement.The manufacturer should be consulted prior to use of HV insulator coatings for animal protection.IEEEStd 1523-2002 IEEE GUIDE FOR THE APPLICATION, MAINTENANCE, AND EVALUATION OF ROOM2 Copyright
