What are the insulation faults of outdoor vacuum reclosers and their solutions?

Insulation Faults：

Insulator Flashover：

• Clean Insulators: For insulators that experience flashover due to surface contamination, regular cleaning is necessary. Specialized insulator cleaning tools, such as insulator cleaning brushes or high-pressure water guns, can be used. After cleaning, anti-flashover coatings can be sprayed on the insulator surfaces to enhance their contamination resistance.

• Replace Insulators: If insulators show a decrease in insulation strength due to lightning strikes or other reasons, and exhibit obvious cracks or damage, they should be replaced promptly. When replacing insulators, choose ones that meet the voltage and mechanical strength requirements of the equipment.

Insulation Aging：

• Test Insulation Performance: Use insulation resistance testers, dielectric loss testers, and other equipment to regularly test the insulation performance of insulating materials. When a decline in insulation performance is detected, analyze the causes of aging.

• Replace Insulation Components: If insulation aging is severe, such as when partial discharge phenomena are observed, aged insulation components (e.g., insulating bushings, insulating supports) should be replaced promptly. Additionally, improve the operating environment of the equipment, such as by enhancing ventilation and reducing humidity, to slow down the aging process of the insulation.
