In-Depth Analysis of the Hazards of Surface Tracking<\/em><b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The carbonized conductive channels formed by surface tracking on reactor bushings can trigger a three-level chain reaction of hazards:<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>(1) Stepwise Decline in Insulation Performance<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The carbonized paths increase leakage current by 50%-300% (based on IEC 60507 test data), reducing surface flashover voltage by over 40%. When leakage current density exceeds 3mA\/cm\u00b2, localized temperature rise can reach over 200\u00b0C, accelerating thermal aging of insulation materials.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>(2) Irreversible Structural Damage<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Continuous discharge can erode the silicone rubber or porcelain surface of bushings, creating pits deeper than 2mm (see Figure 1). Experiments show that pits deeper than 0.5mm increase electric field distortion by 80%, raising the risk of internal insulation breakdown.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>(3) System-Level Chain Reaction Failures<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Single-phase bushing flashover can lead to inter-phase short circuits, generating short-circuit currents exceeding 40kA in 35kV systems (as per the IEC 62271-100 calculation model). This can cause protection device malfunctions, grid oscillations, and other systemic accidents.<\/p>\n<p>Key Data:\u00a0EPRI research reports indicate that untreated surface tracking increases equipment failure rates by 6.8 times.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lstransformer.com\/de\/Reactors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4056\" src=\"https:\/\/lstransformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/17655887509456911.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"378\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lstransformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/17655887509456911.png 378w, https:\/\/www.lstransformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/17655887509456911-300x287.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 378px) 100vw, 378px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><em>2.
