Insulation improvement systems are widely employed by equipment manufacturers and power utilities, rail transportation and in varied other industrial applications. Dependability and safety of high voltage devices is or prime importance and hence, using top quality and high performing products in this context becomes very critical.

Insulation augmentation products include several kinds of heat shrink products like heat shrink tubes, sheets, tapes and pre-formed shapes like busbar tubes, busbar sleeves etc. which improve the insulation of live points with different voltage grades and shapes. All such products are specially formulated for electrical applications and are weather and UV resistant. There are several ways in which these products help in the electrical applications they are meant for.

Network Consistency

Consistency of power networks is a must for electrical utilities as any interruptions in supply only go towards increasing costs of maintenance and disrupting customer service. Substation faults can prove to be costly as equipment gets damaged and requires large sums to be rectified or replaced. Post-fault correction becomes the need of the hour not to mention the major loss of hours of customer supply. It is essential to use products that protect substations and overhead distribution networks by reliably insulating vulnerable exposed metalwork.

 Safeguarding from Animal and Bird Outages

Sometimes conductor spacing on distribution equipment enable comparatively small animals or birds to bridge phases and cause outages. The insulation improvement systems comprising tapes, tubes, preformed covers or sheets and barriers offer an easy-to-fit and cheaper option against animal and bird outages.

Protection from Accidental Electrocution

Distribution equipment with unprotected and bare connections, conductors, bus bars are open to the accidental bridging of phases to ground. Besides disrupting the working of the network systems, this can also cause accidental electrocution of wildlife. Vulnerable unprotected metalwork is protected through insulation improvement products that are made from high performing cross-linked polymer technology.

Wide Array of Products

There is a wide array of insulating improvment products to fulfill the varied needs of the clients. High voltage booster sheds which prevent the occurrence of severe wetting flashovers, heat shrink creepage extenders to tackle pollution flashovers, bird flight diverters which prevents collision from birds, medium voltage line cover for insulating against flashovers due to birds, busbar tube which is a heat shrink tube that offers insulation to busbar systems up to 36 KV and many more are available in the market for providing a solution against varied issues faced by customers. All of these products are manufactured from top quality non-tracking cross-linked polyolefin material that meets regulatory standards.

Summarizing

Smooth functioning of power distribution networks is of utmost importance. It is therefore, necessary to use the right combination of products which offer total protection to power distribution towers from accidental flashovers. The vulnerable sections can be targeted to minimize such incidents and protect life and property. It should be remembered to source these products from reputed manufacturers as a lot is at stake at the power distribution networks if things go wrong. Reputed manufacturers alone guarantee top quality and long lasting life of the products.
