Lessons Learned from Polymer Insulator Failures
EPRI performs failure assessment of insulators regularly.
This report describes the trends identified from tracking failures and some lessons learned from detailed studies.
Comparing Insulator Resistance to Physical Impacts
This work attempts to identify tests that can assess an insulators ability to withstand mis-handling that could damage an insulator and either result in lost product before being installed or unknowingly be installed and lead to premature failure.
