Abstract
One of the main reasons for using nonceramic insulators in polluted regions is the reduction of maintenance needed to keep a line in service. Because the useful lifetime of these insulators depends largely on the pollution conditions, it is advisable to inspect the insulators on a regular cycle. The article discusses several diagnostic techniques that can be applied to detect risky conditions before failure.
