Corona Ring Decoded

Corona ring is a device used in overhead transmission lines to minimize the occurrence of corona discharge. It is also known as a grading ring or a control ring. Corona discharge is an electrical spectacle that can happen at high voltages. This is when the electric field strength around a conductor becomes too high. This […]

Mastering Spiral Vibration Dampers

Spiral vibration dampers are also known as helical or aeolian dampers used on power lines to mitigate the effects of wind-induced vibrations. These vibrations can lead to fatigue and stress on the conductors, towers and associated hardware. This may lead to damage or failure of the conductors. Spiral vibrations dampers help to dampen and control

Choosing the Right Electrical Insulator

An electrical insulator is materials that resists the flow of electric current through it. This means it is a material that does not conduct electricity effectively. They are components used to separate conductive parts in electrical systems. They prevent the unintentional flow of electricity between them. Electrical insulators ensure safety and reliable operation. They work
