Dirty insulation of devices causes losses and may cause emergency shutdowns. Depending on the contamination zone, cleaning of the devices may be required even several times a year. By using the Live Working Technology, network operators can adjust the frequency of cleaning operations to meet their needs and not the possibility of outages in each region. Additionally, thanks to the use of an electro-insulating camera, carrying out the cleaning can observe and register invisible parts of the device. The authors of the paper will present the equipment, procedure, and benefits of using the cleaning and inspection technique of power equipment based on the regulations in force in Poland.
