How To Prevent Corrosion Of Insulator Cores

The metal core in component overhead power line insulators may gradually degrade in humid or polluted environments, exhibiting phenomena such as rust and decreased mechanical strength. If protection is not considered during the design and construction phases, it will affect the operational performance of component tension insulator.

In routine management, by selecting type dead end insulators, which is adapted to environmental conditions, and adjusting installation standards based on on-site environmental assessments, the likelihood of corrosion of the steel core in outdoor environments can be reduced. For example, in coastal or high-humidity areas, optimizing the protective layer specifications of metal components dead end suspension insulators and adjusting the length and material grade of component polymer deadend insulator according to actual dew point changes can reduce the incidence of electrochemical corrosion.
