Performance of the RTV and RTV-II Coatings on DC Transmission Line
Vulcanized silicone rubber coatings(RTV and RTV-II)have been widely used on transmission lines in the areas with contamination above c degree in China. In this study
some insulators with RTV or RTV-II coating
which have already been in operation for more than three years in a ±500 kV DC transmission line
were selected for the five-year tracking investigation. The investigation items include the coatings’ surface contamination status
hydrophobicity
and mechanical and electrical performances. The results show that with service time extending the RTV and RTV-II coatings become pulverizing and spalling
their hydrophobicity degrades
and the recovery time of hydrophobicity increases. However
