Abstract Today it is commonly understood that heavy or very heavy pollution problems of
transmission lines are managed by using polymer insulators instead of Traditional porcelain
or toughened glass insulators.Many problems encountered in the site , the uncertainties with
respect to stability, inspection, maintenance and live line work of composite insulators has
now opened new directions among which RTV silicone coated porcelain or glass insulators.
This paper presents the use of protective coatings to external HV insulators which
significantly improve their performance.
