In wet weather conditions, dirty insulators are prone to flashover discharge, so they must be cleaned to restore the original insulation level. The general area is cleaned once a year, and the dirty area is cleaned twice a year (once before the fog season).
1. Power outage cleaning
Power outage cleaning is to wipe the line with a rag after the line is out of power. If it is not clean, it can be wiped with a damp cloth or a detergent. If it is still not clean, the insulator should be replaced or a synthetic insulator.
2. Uninterrupted cleaning
Generally, the insulator is wiped on the running line by using an insulating rod equipped with a brush or tied with cotton yarn. The electrical performance and effective length of the insulating rod used, and the distance between the person and the live part should comply with the regulations of the corresponding voltage level, and there must be a special person to supervise the operation.
3. Rinse with charged water
There are two methods of large water flushing and small water flushing. The flushing water, the effective length of the operating rod, and the distance between the person and the live part must comply with the requirements of the industry regulations.
