Prolonged exposure of electrical equipment to UV rays has significant consequences, from the degradation of plastic materials to overheating. These are major challenges when it comes to optimizing performance and extending the lifespan of such equipment. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help preserve their functionality. However, these actions often involve significant economic effort, and their regularity cannot be guaranteed in the long run, as many of these devices must be turned off for maintenance.
Which are the effects of UV rays on electrical equipment?
Below are the most common effects of UV rays on exposed electrical equipment.
Degradation of Plastic Materials: Due to their intensity, UV rays can break the molecular chains of plastics, making them brittle, cracked, and broken. This affects the functionality of casings, connectors, and coatings.
Discoloration: The loss of pigment in the materials of electrical equipment due to UV radiation can indicate deeper damage. It suggests prolonged exposure and overheating of internal components due to the loss of the protection previously provided by the surface.
Damage to Internal Components: The increase in temperature can cause failures in circuits and sensitive components. It reduces the elasticity of cables, leading them to break or lose their contact capacity.
In short, if electrical equipment is not protected against UV rays, it is in a constant state of vulnerability, exposed to additional damage that can have significant electrical consequences.
