How to Prevent a Flashover when using an insulator washer truck live line

July 16, 2010 By admin

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.
