Artificial Snow Electrical Components Testing Laboratory

Atmospheric icing of power grid structures is a complex phenomenon that has become significant in recent years. Wet snowfall can threaten grid stability, causing damage to ground wires, overhead conductors, and even the collapse of transmission towers. In our laboratory, we conduct targeted experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative anti-snow materials applied to power grid components and to characterize the adhesive and cohesive properties of snow.

The laboratory has a temperature-controlled refrigerated compartment where a snow-making system is installed. This system allows us to generate snow with adjustable parameters such as flow, flake size, liquid water content and density, enabling us to conduct tests with different types of snow on electrical elements. 

 

In the refrigerated compartment, there is also a universal mechanical testing machine that allows us to study the cohesion properties of snow and its adhesion to different materials, depending on the different types of snow produced.
