Insulators, as the main insulating element of transmission lines, are exposed to various stresses, which affect the operation and thus the reliability of electricity supply.

Factors that affect reliability, failure rate, and losses the most, are pollution and humidity. Our research is focused on monitoring and evaluating the applicability of various sensing electrodes for measuring leakage current on glass insulators. Relative humidity and pollution levels changes can give us a clear view of the used measuring method and how different sensing electrodes can affect the value of leakage current.
