Isolator block Zinc electrolyses

Isolator block Zinc electrolyses

Isolator block Zinc electrolyses

(OP)
Hello

We're struggeling for many months with an isolator problem in the electrolyse plant.
What's the problem:
We've numeros cranes which or working above the elektrolyses celles and they or elektrical separated
from the rest of the building. For this reason we use isolator blocks between the cranes and structure of the
building.
Now we have problems with these blocks because after a little while the resistance of the isolator blocks
decreases. At first we start at Giga Ohms and after 1 week the resistance of the block has decreased to
10kOhm. We haven't located/defined the problem yet but presumebly it has something to do with the air
ventilation, in other words we think that the air is containing small particles of zinc which or getting stuck
on the isolator with the above mentioned result.

Has anyone had a similar problem, and yes what have you tried/done.

Rudi
