Electrical power systems, and more specifically electrical insulators are vulnerable to losing their functionality in severe meteorological conditions. Accumulation of ice or pollution can harm the electrical insulators. A layer of pollution can lead to accumulation of a conductive layer on top of the insulator. The contaminated high-voltage insulator in wet conditions could lead into a leakage current which flows through the surface of the insulator. This layer of conductive material on the insulator can lead to flashover which could result in the breakdown of the insulator. Therefore, anti-icing and self-cleaning coatings could be of great interest for electrical insulators. Superhydrophobic coatings have the potential to be used for anti...
