Grant Activity:
Flame Retardant Coating: Preventing Pole Top Fires in Electricity Networks
Purpose:
This project aims to develop a flame-retardant coating to avoid pole top fires in electricity networks via a ceramic barrier against electrical discharges and flame. This project expects to generate a fire safety product using multidisciplinary approaches to tackle the issue of power outages stemming from the deposition of airborne soot and pollutants on vital electricity infrastructure. Expected outcomes include a commercial-grade flame-resistant yet electrically insulated coating, designed for application on electricity assets. This should provide benefits, such as a more robust electric network, a reduction in unplanned blackouts, prevention of fire ignition risks, and substantial cost savings for network operators and consumers alike.
