Creepage Extension Shed (Rain - Shed)

A creepage extension shed, often referred to as a rain shed, is an important accessory used in high-voltage insulators to enhance their performance and reliability. These sheds are designed to increase the creepage distance, which is the shortest path along the surface of an insulator between two conductive parts. By extending this distance, creepage extension sheds help prevent electrical tracking and flashover, especially in environments with high humidity, pollution, or salt spray. Made from durable, weather-resistant materials, they provide additional protection against environmental contaminants and improve the overall insulation properties of electrical systems. Utilizing creepage extension sheds ensures the longevity and safe operation of high-voltage equipment under challenging conditions.
