Introduction – RTV Coating PGCIL Agra Project
The RTV Coating PGCIL Agra project was successfully executed by Agile Microsys Pvt. Ltd. to improve reactor insulation performance and protect high-voltage substation equipment from dust, moisture, and contamination.
In outdoor substations, pollution creates conductive layers on insulators, increasing leakage current and flashover risk. RTV silicone coating forms a hydrophobic protective layer that ensures long-term insulation reliability and operational safety.
RTV Coating PGCIL Agra – Substation Background
The Agra substation is part of the national transmission network operated by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited.
The site operates under high electrical load and is exposed to:
- Heavy dust and airborne pollution
- Moisture and humidity
- High voltage stress conditions
These environmental challenges can degrade insulation performance and lead to electrical failures.
RTV Coating PGCIL Agra – Project Objective
The objective of this project was to:
✔ Improve insulation reliability
✔ Prevent flashover incidents
✔ Reduce leakage current
✔ Increase equipment life
✔ Minimize maintenance downtime
Scope of RTV Insulation Coating Work
Agile Microsys carried out RTV coating on:
- Reactor insulators
- Switchyard structures
- Bus bar insulation systems
- Outdoor high-voltage equipment
This ensured complete insulation protection across the substation.
RTV Insulator Coating Process at Agra Substation
1. Surface Preparation
All insulators were cleaned to remove dust, grease, and contamination.
2. Silicone RTV Application
Uniform RTV coating applied using controlled spray technology.
3. Thickness Verification
Coating thickness checked to ensure durability and long service life.
4. Electrical Testing
Leakage current and insulation performance tested after completion.
Benefits of Silicone Insulation Coating at Agra Substation
After project completion, the site achieved:
✔ Reduced flashover risk
✔ Improved insulation performance
✔ Lower maintenance cost
✔ Increased equipment life
✔ Enhanced substation safety
Why RTV Coating is Important for Power Substations
High-voltage substations operate in open environments where pollution affects insulation surfaces.
RTV coating ensures:
- Long-term hydrophobic insulation protection
- Reduced cleaning requirement
- Improved performance in humid conditions
- Lower risk of unplanned outages
