Ageing mechanisms in composite insulators

This thesis presents investigations of field-aged composite silicone rubber insulators, which have been deployed for 15 years on a 400 k V transmission line in a coastal region of the UK. Extensive measurements of their hydrophobicity, as detennined by contact angle, are given along with a descripti...
