“Effects of Highly Polluted Atmospheres on Power Distribution Systems"
Materials Performance, December 2014, page 2-4, VOL. 53, NO. 12
Abbstract :
Air pollution has destructive effects on power pole insulators and electrical fittings. Usually, ferrous electrical fittings on power distribution poles are galvanized. Unfortunately, in highly polluted atmospheres, galvanized layers have a limited lifetime. This article presents some of the destructive effects of air pollution on electrical fitting and explains strategies to counter the resulting corrosion.
