Facing Wildfire? Choose Toughened Glass Insulators

Insulators under fire, what are we talking about?

A line directly in the fire is considered as lost
A line near the heat of a fire can be saved
What is the condition of insulators on a line nearby a fire?

Reliability of insulators during or after a fire is a key consideration for T&D line design or refurbishment.
One must evaluate the risk of a line drop in the proximity of a fire as...
