Crompton Greaves started manufacturing 11kV & 33kV Outdoor Current & Potential Transformers since 1995. These produds are performing a! various locations ond in different ste condilions. These products and product manufacturing process are potenied by CG in India iy reThe typical site problems with conventional CT/PTs ore illustrated below. The Polycrete® products are free from these problems. Oil Leakey ¥ POLYCRETE* A BREAKTHROUGH IN DRY TYPE OUTDOOR INSULATION Insulating materials play @ vital role in equipments used in safe transmission and distribution of electrical power. Porcelain end glass (inorganie meterials) aro used as « major ‘ouldoor insulating meterials in various opplicetions such as string insulators, pest insulators end buchings etc. But these molerials have severe! proctical limitations, Porcelain/Gloss insulato-s are not showing @ steady trend in tho price levels ‘over the past yeors, and this may stil tand to rise. Hence the ‘organic ouldoor inzulaters 0.g. Polymer Concrete are considered os cos! offective alternative to porcelain/glass insulator. Polycrete® is @ high performance, composite insulation material developed by Crompton Greaves and has excellent electrical end mechanical properties, ideully suited for both outdoor and indoor insulation applications. Polycrete” and polycreie® products have been extensively ested in-house, at external laboratories ond ot field installotions worldwide with onerous ambient conditions.
