Wilorton Live Line's Automated, Advanced polluted insulator Washing technology is designed for critical power generation, transmission, and distribution (T&D) infrastructures operating in challenging climatic conditions.

It performs well in areas with high temperatures, humidity, dense fog, and limited natural cleaning due to short rainy seasons, followed by dry periods and foggy or misty conditions with light rain.

Preventive maintenance is the cornerstone of a reliable and efficient energy grid. Our advanced solutions address polluted insulators, a leading cause of power outages.

Eradicate Power Outages caused by pollution on POWER PLANT AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATIONS - POWER TRANSFORMERS – GANTRIES, and MV-HV-EHV TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION POWER LINES (OHTL) with our Advanced Insulator Washing Systems.

AUTOMATED Advanced Live-Line Polluted Insulator Washing Systems

Eliminates Current Leakages and Flashovers in MV-HV-EHV POWER PLANT AND DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION INFRASTRUCTURES.

Clean insulators without a power outage.

Wilorton Automated Advanced Washing System for energized insulators grants zero flashovers (caused by polluted insulators), reducing network outages, eliminating repair time and maintenance costs, attains operational excellence, reduces downtime risk, ensures personnel safety, and achieves financial efficiency by optimizing the maintenance budget.

Our Energized Insulators Washing Systems ensure network reliability by cleaning the insulators' pollutants buildup on any glass, ceramic, composite and polymeric, and RTV coated insulators.

Installing an AUTOMATED WASHING SYSTEM reduces overall CAIDI-CAIFI-SAIDI-SAIFI Indexes.

Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) indicates the average time required to restore service during a predefined period.

The electric distribution System's Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI): Indicates the length of time all customers would have been out of power if the total number of hours out of service in a year were to be shared. It is typically measured in minutes.

Customer Average Interruption Frequency Index (CAIFI): Measures the average number of interruptions per customer interrupted per year. It is simply the number of interruptions that occurred divided by the number of customers affected by the interruptions.

The System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) is the average number of service interruptions experienced by a customer in a year. The index is computed based on the methodology in the DB16-20 studies.

AUTOMATED WASHING SYSTEM SCOPE:
Eliminating maintenance outages for insulators' cleaning (De-energizing the substation equipment), repair costs, and improving the income statement from the loss of turnover, preventing power outages caused by polluted insulators.

AUTOMATED WASHING SYSTEM OUTLINE:
The insulators installed in a Substation are divided into washing zones, each wash zone is typically made by 3 insulators of the same type. Three insulators are washed at the same time, in approx.15-25 seconds. Water envelopes and swamps 3 insulators in one surge.
Each zone is washed sequentially from one group to another. The washing sequence is dictated by the wind direction & automatically controlled by the SCADA control system.

Eliminating maintenance outages for insulators' cleaning (De-energizing the equipment), repair costs, and improving the income statement from the loss of turnover, preventing power outages caused by polluted insulators.

HYBRID WASHING SYSTEM OUTLINE:
HYBRID washing system requires the installation of water rigid piping with stainless steel quick coupler installed in a coupling box at the structure base, connecting to the mobile washer high-pressure flexible hose.
Simultaneous wash of energized insulators mounted on a Tower-Tubular pole or Gantry in 15/25/60 seconds depending on the tower configuration. The water envelopes and swamps all energized insulators in one surge.
Washing effectiveness is limited by wind speed. High washing rates are achieved with calm or low-speed wind conditions.
