Journal ArticleDOI
The electrical performance of polymeric insulating materials under accelerated aging in a fog chamber
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model to determine the effect of dry band discharges on material performance was presented, and good agreement between the predicted behavior and the experimental findings was shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protective coatings for improving contamination performance of outdoor high voltage ceramic insulators
R.S. Gorur,E.A. Cherney,C. de Tourreil,D. Dumora,R. Harmon,H. Hervig,B. Kingsbury,J. Kise,T. Orbeck,K. Tanaka,R. Tay,G. Toskey,D. Wiitanen +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the practices employed by utilities and industries to combat the contamination problem with ceramic insulators is presented, emphasizing two popular methods, namely, coating insulators with greases and RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) silicone rubber coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface dielectric behavior of polymeric insulation under HV outdoor conditions
R.S. Gorur,T. Orbeck +1 more
TL;DR: A review of surface dielectric behavior of several polymers under highvoltage (HV) outdoor conditions is presented in this paper, which is limited to materials used to provide weathersheds on non-ceramic insulators and room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber coating used on ceramic insulators for combating problems related to insulator contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Round Robin Testing of RTV Silicone Rubber Coatings for Outdoor Insulation
S. Gorur,E.A. Cherney,C. de Tourreil,D. Dumora,Reuben Hackam,R. Harmon,H. Hervig,B. Kingsbury,J. Kise,T. Orbeck,M. Spalding,K. Tanaka,R. Tay,G. Toskey,D. Wiitanen +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of round robin tests performed to evaluate the electrical performance of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber coatings used for improving the contamination performance of outdoor ceramic insulators.
