including 400 kV – will be insulated mainly with composite insulators, especially in polluted & vandalized* areas. (*) : 1990s were epidemic years of vandalism leading to up to 24 glass discs

  • According to all achieved ESDD and NSDD measurements

Completed with Chemical Analysis of Pollution Contaminants The Deposited Pollution Generally Consists Of soluble and non- soluble components.

For Our Case studies, It was proved that All built Tests stations in Northern Africa have notably proven to be a good investment for Both Tunisian utility STEG ( 18 + 3 Energized & Monitoring Test Stations) & Algerian- GRTE and lastly GCCIA-KSA since they have allowed:

  • A Good field training of all Engineers & technicians involved in

the Design & Operating of Both MV & HV Systems,

  • A Good understanding of external insulation & service

experiences of Different Types of Insulators in different polluted conditions,

  • To Establish and/or to update the pollution -Map of the Electrical

Network,

CONCLUSIONS:

slide-96
SLIDE 96
  • To select suitable insulator design &

material for each type of environment,

  • To detect poor design weakness in a

relatively short testing period,

  • To determine how often and when line

insulators would have to be washed,

  • To save at least 30% of the total washing

cost/ year routinely programmed …,
