Role of Silicone Conductor Covers in High Voltage Transmission Lines

In high-voltage transmission lines, electrical conductors are often at risk of accidental contact. Bare conductors are often used in these lines because it reduces installation complexity and cost. However, it exposes the nearby space to a risk of electrocution. Urban transmission corridors, industrial structures, railway and highway crossings, and substations are some of the common spaces where these conductors pass through.

To protect these conductors and provide reliable insulation, Silicone Conductor Cover upto 220 kV is widely used. While acting as a protective insulating layer, this cover has many benefits and is used for heavy-duty transmission cables.
