Hot Line Insulator Washer – using a truck at 33 kV
Washing at 33 kV from an insulator washer truck.
In this video, the insulator washer is mounted on a truck chassis. The man stands on a platform and washes the insulators as the truck drives down the road. Using this method, they can wash over 300 structures in an 8 hour day!

Insulator Washer Safe Washing Practices
In order to prevent a flashover from occurring during insulator washing, the following points must be taken into consideration:
- Insulator washing should start on the lowest phase conductor.
- Always undertake the washing so that the spray does not fall on dirty insulators, as this may cause a flashover.
- Washing should always start at the bottom of the insulator, finishing at the top of the string.
- Always wash then flush the string.
- It is extremely important to consider the direction of the wind.

Should an insulator washer truck aerial platform be insulated?
In general, insulator washer truck aerial platforms are not insulated unless they are also used for live line maintenance. The reason why we do not insulate the platforms is because the wash guns and truck chassis should be grounded to the structure. Adding an insulated insert is therefore unnecessary as it must be bypassed during the washing process.
