Dealing with high-pollution overload on your 380 kV lines? Discover how ITG’s Engineering Team tackled extreme Middle Eastern conditions by redesigning Generation I porcelain long‑rod insulators into Generation II - the lightest, slimmest 380 kV units in ultra-polluted environments. Key results include: • Creepage increased by 8.2% (1,700 → 1,840 mm) • Arcing distance improved by 7.1% (1,545 → 1,655 mm) • Weight reduced by 9.7% (62.9 → 56.8 kg) • Surface area trimmed by 9.6% → Cleaner design, stronger performance, same mechanical strength. 👉 Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/dMRKFMAS

Sand, pollution, and extreme heat demand smarter insulator design. In this ITG case study, Amith Karanth, Application Engineer at PPC INSULATORS, explores how Generation II 380 kV porcelain long rod insulators were redesigned for ultra-high pollution environments in Saudi Arabia. Key results: - Creepage +8.23% (1,700 → 1,840 mm) - Arcing distance +7.12% (1,545 → 1,655 mm) - Weight –9.7% (62.9 → 56.8 kg) - Surface area –9.61% 👉 Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/d8FRktmi

How do porcelain long rod insulators perform after decades in service? In this ITG Education Initiative report, Markku Ruokanen, Group Quality and R&D Director at Insulation Technology Group, analyses the field aging behaviour of modern C130 porcelain long rods according to CIGRÉ TB 306. The report explores long-term mechanical performance after 35 years of service. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/g85t5KFZ

Designing reliable transmission infrastructure in ultra-high pollution environments requires a tailored approach. In this ITG case study, Amith Karanth explores how a new generation of 380 kV porcelain long rod insulators was developed to address the demanding conditions of Middle Eastern grids.
