• Si-COAT Formulated for:
– Superior adhesion
– Very smooth surface finish
– Extremely long life
• Two very surprising advantages
discovered!

Si-COAT : The Advantages
• One-part RTV (ready-to-use)
• Superior adhesion
• Smooth surface finish
• Rich LMWS concentration
• Low surface free energy
– Very high hydrophobicity
• Maintenance free
• Near total suppression of leakage current
Si-COAT® HVIC
Thermal Imaging
in Rural Italy
Thermal imaging via infrared cameras
measures the rise in temperature, above
ambient, of various structures.
Since leakage current generates heat,
thermal imaging is an ideal and cost-
efficient tool to measure approximate
levels of leakage current.
Thermal imaging by infrared cameras of
insulators coated with
Si-COAT and those left uncoated reveal
that uncoated insulators undergo an
appreciable rise in temperature.
Each Celsius degree rise in temperature
above ambient roughly correlates to 2 mA
of leakage current.
The approximate 9°C temperature rise of
uncoated sections in this photograph
indicate roughly 18 mA of leakage current
on uncoated insulators.
Coated insulators show no rise in
temperature, translating to an effective
zero level of leakage current.

How To Avoid Damage to Silicone!
© 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved.
Dry Band Arcing Damage is Beaten
• ATH: Alumina Trihydrate
• Dry band arcing activates ATH
• ATH absorbs the energy of dry band arcing
• Coating is protected and undamaged
• Surface of ATH particle is most critical
– The greater the surface area of the ATH, the more
protection that is offered
© 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved.
Smaller ATH = More Surface Area

Very Small ATH Restricts LMWS

Larger ATH Promotes LMWS Flow

Further Considerations

The Payback of Efficient Insulators
Intelligent Solution :
Recover Leakage Losses
– Significant power readily recoverable with
Si-COAT
– US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
• Average 0.71kg CO2 per kWh
• Average 22 kg CO2 sequestered per year by a single
tree
Holistic thinking :
– Resistive (I2
R) loss in conductor is the major loss
– Leakage losses can also be addressed
– Loss reduction has positive environmental impact

In Conclusion
1. The Si-COAT patented technology proposes three
levels of value:
• Maintenance reduction
• Reliability improvement
• Economic/Environmental benefits
1. Si-COAT virtually eliminates leakage current for the
long term
2. Therefore, significant reduction in expenses and
losses due to planned/unplanned outages
3. Investment in Si-COAT very
quickly recovered

  • 3. © 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved. Si-COAT HVIC : The Background • A need for a robust insulator coating – Excellent adhesion required – Elimination of water washing required • Si-COAT Formulated for: – Superior adhesion – Very smooth surface finish – Extremely long life • Two very surprising advantages discovered!
  • 4. © 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved. Si-COAT : The Advantages • One-part RTV (ready-to-use) • Superior adhesion • Smooth surface finish • Rich LMWS concentration • Low surface free energy – Very high hydrophobicity • Maintenance free • Near total suppression of leakage current
  • 5. Si-COAT® HVIC Thermal Imaging in Rural Italy Thermal imaging via infrared cameras measures the rise in temperature, above ambient, of various structures. Since leakage current generates heat, thermal imaging is an ideal and cost- efficient tool to measure approximate levels of leakage current. Thermal imaging by infrared cameras of insulators coated with Si-COAT and those left uncoated reveal that uncoated insulators undergo an appreciable rise in temperature. Each Celsius degree rise in temperature above ambient roughly correlates to 2 mA of leakage current. The approximate 9°C temperature rise of uncoated sections in this photograph indicate roughly 18 mA of leakage current on uncoated insulators. Coated insulators show no rise in temperature, translating to an effective zero level of leakage current. Si-COAT HVIC coated insulator (at ambient temp.) Uncoated insulators (at elevated temp.)

  • 55. © 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved. The Payback of Efficient Insulators Intelligent Solution : Recover Leakage Losses – Significant power readily recoverable with Si-COAT – US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • Average 0.71kg CO2 per kWh • Average 22 kg CO2 sequestered per year by a single tree Holistic thinking : – Resistive (I2 R) loss in conductor is the major loss – Leakage losses can also be addressed – Loss reduction has positive environmental impact
  • 56. © 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved. Si-COAT : Lucrative Economics € € Cumulative Leakage Current Suppressed Hence, Additional Revenue Available Thus, Additional Power Reclaimed
  • 57. © 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved. CO2 Offset 30 million kg per year Equivalent Trees 1.4 million additional trees Si-COAT : Carbon Conscious
  • 58. © 2012 CSL Silicones Inc. All trademarks registered. All rights reserved. In Conclusion 1. The Si-COAT patented technology proposes three levels of value: • Maintenance reduction • Reliability improvement • Economic/Environmental benefits 1. Si-COAT virtually eliminates leakage current for the long term 2. Therefore, significant reduction in expenses and losses due to planned/unplanned outages 3. Investment in Si-COAT very quickly recovered
