At the end of the excursion, Transneft Electric Network Service representatives gave a high assessment of the technological equipment and production culture at Izolyator plant.

The guests also noted the need to include RIN-insulated bushings to the list of equipment approved for use at Transneft facilities. The use of such bushings completely eliminates the wetting of their main insulation, which dramatically reduces the damage vulnerability of power switching equipment and allows to maintain the technical characteristics of the bushings nearly unchanged for an unlimited time during their backup storage.

Taking these new characteristics of high-voltage bushings, the need for holding in-depth seminars for technical specialists of Transneft and its branches by Izolyator was noted.

According to the results of the working meeting, it was decided to provide Transneft Electric Network Service company with all the necessary regulatory documentation on bushings with RIN-insulation.

In the general opinion of the parties, all the activities of the working meeting were extremely effective and in full accordance with program.
