Abstract

Modern power industry widely uses high-voltage overhead lines to transport electricity, which are characterized by problems of corona discharge and leakage currents, especially in rain and snow conditions. One approach to solve these problems is to create protective coatings that can reduce corona in adverse weather conditions. This paper presents a study of a hydrophilic organosilicon coating based on aminopropyltriethoxysilane and PEG-400 for aluminum wires. Studies conducted to assess the resistance of the coating to prolonged contact with water, UV radiation and an ozone-saturated atmosphere have shown that the hydrophilicity of the coating increases under effect of these factors, which improves its anti-corona properties. Thus, durability under operating conditions open prospects for use of the developed coating in the energy sector.
