Composite insulator is a device commonly used in power systems to support and insulate high-voltage wires.
After long-term use, due to the influence of external factors such as environmental factors and dust, electrical pollutants may accumulate on the surface of composite insulators, resulting in a decrease in their insulation performance.
In order to ensure the normal operation of insulators and improve the stability and reliability of the power system, live cleaning technology has been widely used.
Live cleaning refers to the use of special equipment and processes to clean the surface of the insulator in the working state of the transmission line to remove the dirt and pollutants attached to the surface of the insulator.
The technology has the characteristics of easy operation and obvious effect, and does not require power outages and will not affect the normal operation of the power system.
The principle of live cleaning is to use cleaning equipment to wash the surface of the insulator through a powerful jet of water to remove the buildup.
Cleaning equipment usually includes high-pressure water pumps, spray guns, nozzles, etc., which can effectively remove contaminants from the surface of the insulator by adjusting the angle of the nozzle and the pressure of the jet water flow.
The application of live cleaning technology can well improve the insulation performance of insulators.
First of all, the surface of the cleaned insulator is smoother, which reduces the adhesion of electrical contaminants.
Secondly, cleaning can remove the conductive particles in the adherents, prevent the passage of electric current, and improve the insulation capacity of the insulator.
In addition, live cleaning can also extend the service life of the insulator, reducing maintenance work and replacement costs.
In addition to the live cleaning technology itself, other auxiliary measures can be taken to further improve the cleaning effect of the insulator.
For example, some special cleaning agents can be added to the nozzle to enhance the cleaning effect.
In addition, regular inspection and maintenance of insulators, timely discovery and treatment of potential problems, is also an important measure to keep the insulators working properly.
In practical applications, live cleaning technology has been widely used.
It can be applied to various types of composite insulators with good adaptability.
In addition, the technology can also be applied to insulator cleaning under different environmental conditions, whether in coastal areas or mountainous areas.
Electrified cleaning technology is an effective method for cleaning composite insulators.
It can not only improve the insulation performance of the insulator and prolong the service life, but also is easy to operate, does not require power outage, and will not affect the power system.
In the maintenance of power systems, live cleaning technology will play an increasingly important role.
