Lightning Strikes And Insulator Explosions: New Challenges Facing The Power Industry

With frequent weather changes, extreme weather conditions such as lightning have an increasingly significant impact on power facilities. Lightning strikes causing line breaks and composite tension insulator explosions have become new challenges for the power industry. The performance of high voltage transmission line insulators is often unable to withstand strong external forces such as lightning strikes, leading to a series of chain reactions such as equipment damage and system shutdown. Especially in high-voltage lines, the reliability of overhead power line insulators is directly related to the stability and safety of the power system.
