Ritec International are proud to have treated over 100,000 glass and glazed ceramic electrical insulators over the past few years with our unique polymer-based VoltShield® ‘non-stick’ protective surface treatment for various major organisations. The majority (around 54,000) of this amount were 190kN suspension insulators but other types were also treated, such as 190kN and 300kN tension, 300kN and 400kN suspension and 275kV and 400kV bushing types.
We have recently treated another batch of 190kN suspension insulators in our factory facility in North London on behalf of National Grid UK. VoltShield® protection was specified to prevent pollution build-up on the surface of the insulator, resulting in increased electrical performance, reduced corona activity, reduced flashover failures and potentially increasing its service life.
VoltShield® has undergone numerous stringent test regimes both in the UK and abroad by the high voltage industry’s most respected testing houses. They have proved beyond doubt not only does VoltShield® meet the criteria of industry standards, it exceeds them too, and has since truly established itself out in the field.
So for the ultimate surface protection for glass and glazed ceramic insulators, choose VoltShield®! Visit www.ritec.co.uk/voltshield for more information.
