Abstract

Outdoor insulators used in Adelaide are subjected to weather with air temperatures varying from about 30° to 112° F., and with sun temperatures reaching about 160°F. Although this range is not very great it is sufficient to cause considerable insulator breakage.
During the 20 months ended January, 1935, no less than 360 7,000 v. porcelain insulators taken from Switchgear in substations and transmission lines had to be changed, due to breakage caused by expansion effects of the steel pins and concrete.
