Experience
Since
its introduction in 2002, VoltShield has been increasing the efficiency
of glazed ceramic and glass electrical insulators worldwide.
VoltShield has been applied on insulators in the UK, Japan and
Australia with great success. Workers on treated sites have been
impressed with the easier maintenance properties. For example, in a
major ironworks site in Japan, the porcelain insulators were heavily
contaminated with salt which impaired performance. Prior to VoltShield
protection, the insulators had to be thoroughly cleaned every six
months in addition to cleaned with high pressured water every ten days.
After treatment with VoltShield, frequency of cleaning was
significantly reduced and performance increased.
In
the UK, a major energy supplier has invested in VoltShield treatment
because the company found the technology dramatically increased the
performance of its 132kV insulators by reducing incidence of power loss
from flashovers.
A
Project Engineer from the energy supplier was impressed, stating: “After the application
of your VoltShield product to the insulator, as far as I am aware, we
haven't had a single flashover, which in my eyes is a success".
