Summary

This Brochure reviews the state-of-the-art research activities related to coatings to protect overhead line equipment including insulators, ground wires and conductors in winter conditions, using superhydrophobic/ icephobic coatings. In some cases, such coatings can also provide protection against corrosion and corona discharge. Methods for testing and characterizing various properties of these coatings are also recommended.
