[0002] In a power grid device, an insulator is a key electrical component, and its performance directly affects the safety and stability of the power system. The main function of the insulator is to prevent current leakage and ensure normal transmission of electricity. However, the surface of the insulator is easily affected by environmental factors, especially the accumulation of dirt. Dirt such as dust, salt, and plant residues can adhere to the surface of the insulator. Over time, these dirt layers gradually thicken, increasing the conductivity of the insulator surface and affecting its electrical performance. In a humid environment, the conductivity of the dirt layer can be significantly exacerbated by increased moisture absorption. This change can lead to dangerous electrical breakdown and flashover.
[0003] Traditional insulator contamination state detection relies on regular patrols and manual visual inspection, which is limited by the frequency and accuracy of manual inspection, making it difficult to accurately grasp the real-time state of the insulator. In addition, although image analysis technology can be used to detect the appearance and thickness of the dirt layer in some cases, it often fails to fully consider the changes in the electrical performance of the dirt layer. Traditional image analysis techniques mainly focus on visible surface features, ignoring the dynamic impact of the dirt layer on the electrical properties of the insulator. SUMMARY
