Creepage Extenders & Contamination Shields

Protective components that block contamination buildup and extend creepage distance to maintain insulation performance in overhead and substation installations.

Pollution, salt, ice, and dust accumulation can compromise insulation performance and increase the risk of tracking and flashover. Creepage extenders and contamination shields help stabilize insulation behavior, improving system reliability and reducing unplanned outages in harsh, coastal, or cold environments. By reducing contamination-induced discharge paths, they also support wildfire prevention in high-risk areas.
