The INSILCURE system takes an
engineered approach, comprised of:
 | A detailed audit of all insulation in the yard to define the
characteristics of every insulator and assess its suitability to
operate under the existing ambient conditions. |
| For insulators identified as under-dimensioned for the pollution
severity of the site, the design and application of INSILSHED HTV
silicon-rubber shed extenders to create profiles and creepage
distances to ensure reliable, maintenance-free performance. |
| Coating the insulators and shed extenders with INSILCOTE RTV
silicon-rubber to provide the insulator surfaces with uniform
hydrophobic properties to further enhance their resistance to
flashover. |
Demonstrated Value
The INSILCURE system:
| Represents a permanent pollution flashover solution for substations,
in stark contrast to the limited effectiveness of washing programs and
the prohibitive fiscal and environmental costs of greasing. |
| Identifies the "weak links" in the yard, and elevates the
quality of all the insulators to an acceptable standard. |
| Provides insulators with a uniform, highly hydrophobic surface
characteristic to prevent flashovers induced by both pre-deposited
pollution layers and instantaneous conductive fog contamination. |
