Dr. Alexander Slavinsky, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Izolyator, made the key report “A century-long experience of leadership and the strategy of Izolyator”. He marked that Izolyator plant is one of the few companies that remained loyal to their proud history and traditions.

Established in 1896, the first domestic power engineering plant played a great role in the electrification and industrialization of the country, development of its economy by supplying unique equipment to the erected industrial giants, power plants and the unified power grid of the country (during the Soviet period or the 20th century).

Today, Izolyator is a leading enterprise in electric engineering industry of Russia. The company actively implements advanced technologies and innovative designs, masters the production of new types of HV bushings.

The production facility of Izolyator allows for making of 12 000 HV bushings annually. The company constantly expands the product range by introducing new designs and modernization of mass produced products.

In 2002–2004 Izolyator jointly with the leading Russian research centers created a proprietary technology of RIP insulation production. Before that time, RIP bushings were not in mass production and were assembled with foreign-made insulation cores. Already now, Izolyator possesses unique equipment, enabling the company to mass produce bushings with solid RIP insulation for voltages up to 1150 kV for alternating current and up to 1000 kV for direct current.

In its more than 120 year long history the plant has produced more the 620 000 HV bushings operating  in the overwhelming majority of power facilities in Russia and the CIS countries as well as in 30 countries in the world.

In conclusion, Alexander Slavinsky spoke about cooperation with Rosseti JSC saying that more than 250 000 Izolyator HV bushings are currently operating in the facilities of the company, including 50 000 RIP bushings. Thanks to this, Russia possesses the largest experience of mass operation of HV RIP bushings of various applications.

Nikolay Drozdov, Leading Expert Innovations and Development at Rosseti JSC made a report “HV RIP bushings operational experience in Rosseti JSC facilities”. He provided details of the concept of power grids transition to RIP-insulated bushings . Taking into account the advantages of RIP bushings — reliability, security, maintainability, longevity, ecological compatibility, ease of operation — power grid companies are highly interested in their application.

Nikolay Drozdov stressed the fact that Izolyator is the largest in Russia company to produce bushings and in its technical capabilities equals the leading HV bushings plants in the world.
