Positron Insulator Tester Videos
Video showing testing of energized Porcelain and Composite Insulators
The condition of high voltage insulators on transmission and distribution power systems is of prime importance for the successful operation of a power grid. Defective insulators can lead to costly system outages, fires, serious injury, or loss of life.
Positron’s High Voltage Testers verifying the condition of energized Porcelain and Composite insulators
Positrons tester in operation on power lines and substation insulators enable power utilities around the world to make power grids more resilient, safe and reliable.
Positron Porcelain Disc Tester in Manitoba Hydro's operations
In August 2024, Manitoba Hydro embarked on an extensive field testing initiative utilizing the innovative Positron Porcelain Disc Tester . This cutting-edge technology is used on strings of 7 to 12 discs allowing them to determines defective porcelain discs for maintenance puroposes and to gather vital data and insights into performance and reliability.
DBR + Positron Power Smart Drone for High Voltage Composite Insulator Testing
Drones fitted with Positron’s Composite Insulator Tester enable remote testing of energized composite insulators without the need to climb towers. Safe, fast and efficient.
Compliance with drone aviation regulations is necessary.
Creative methods for fast and effective testing of high voltage insulators
Here a helicopter is used to position a technician safely and accurately to test a porcelain insulator using the Positron Insulator Tester. Because of the lightweight nature of the insulator tester, placement on the insulator is easy with the tester’s non-metallic high impact resistance sled.
