Abstract
The rural distribution network has deteriorated. This is due to the high failure rate of electrical equipment, high maintenance costs, reduced power quality, and the increased duration of power outages in agricultural production. This leads to a short supply of electricity, downtime of processing equipment, loss of production or production of low-grade products, as well as excessive energy losses during transmission. The important issue is the development of advanced methods for assessing the feasibility and effectiveness for component replacement of power transmission equipment with newer and more modern, reducing electrical energy loss in the distribution network. To solve these problems, various strategies have been developed and studied to improve the reliability of 10 kV overhead power lines by using modern insulators, wires, and supports.
