CG104-12 12kV High Voltage Insulator Sensor – Technical Overview The CG104-12 12kV High Voltage Insulator Sensor is a precision-engineered device designed to monitor and enhance the reliability of high-voltage (HV) power distribution systems. Operating at 12 kilovolts (kV), this sensor integrates advanced insulation monitoring and environmental sensing capabilities, making it ideal for overhead lines, substations, and other HV infrastructure. Key Features & Design 1. High-Voltage Compatibility - Rated for 12kV systems, the sensor withstands electrical stresses in medium-voltage networks while maintaining stable performance. Its robust insulation materials (e.g., silicone rubber or porcelain composites) resist tracking, erosion, and UV degradation. 2. Real-Time Monitoring - Equipped with embedded temperature, humidity, and partial discharge (PD) sensors, it detects early signs of insulation degradation, corona discharge, or contamination buildup—critical for preventing unplanned outages. 3. Structural Integrity - The sensor’s mechanical design aligns with standard insulator profiles, ensuring seamless integration into existing hardware (e.g., suspension or pin-type insulators). Its leakage current measurement capability further assesses surface contamination. 4. Environmental Resilience - Built to endure harsh conditions, including extreme temperatures (-40°C to +70°C), rain, and pollution. Optional hydrophobic coatings mitigate moisture-induced flashover risks. 5. Data Communication - Supports wired (RS-485, 4-20mA) or wireless (LoRa, NB-IoT) connectivity for remote data transmission to SCADA or IoT platforms, enabling predictive maintenance. Applications - Overhead Power Lines: Monitors insulator health in transmission/distribution networks. - Substations: Tracks insulation performance in switchgear or transformer bushings. - Renewable Energy: Safeguards solar/wind farm connections to the grid. Advantages - Proactive Maintenance: Reduces downtime by identifying faults before failure. - Cost-Efficiency: Extends asset lifespan and minimizes manual inspections. - Safety Compliance: Meets IEC, ANSI, and other international HV standards. Conclusion The CG104-12 12kV High Voltage Insulator Sensor combines durability, smart monitoring, and adaptability, making it a vital tool for modernizing grid reliability. Its multifunctional design addresses both electrical and environmental challenges, supporting the transition toward resilient, data-driven power systems.
