Award Summary: ASAsoft™ Consultants Co (proprietary company) developed the innovative medium-to-high voltage 1.0 Lightweight Insulator technologies and introduced them to South Asia resulting in stunning success.
Award Summary: To date, testing of some materials such as silicone and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubbers has been carried out, and some general findings exist, but it remains to be understood how the materials respond to weathering under their electrical load. In this project, a combination of surface-specific spectroscopy, microscopy, and macroscopic measurements…

High-level characterization of de-icing salts on polymer composite insulator Award Summary: To evaluate the long-term effects of corrosive conditions (particularly the use of de-icing salts) on the hydrophobicity of silicone used on polymer composite electrical insulators. Used a variety of analytical methods to better understand the effects of simulated ageing on polymer samples. These methods…
