The most distinctive features of a hot and humid marine environment are high temperatures, high humidity, and high salt fog. Electrical equipment exposed to such harsh conditions for an extended period of time will suffer from rapid contamination and corrosion of its internal components if proper protective measures are not in place. This leads to a rapid decline in the quality of these components, significantly shortening their lifespan and posing a serious threat to the safe operation of electrical installations. When components become contaminated and corroded, it often means a severe decline in the electrical insulation properties, thereby posing a serious threat to the safety of people and facilities. At the same time, electrical equipment is relatively sophisticated; once it malfunctions, it is difficult to repair, and in severe cases it may even need to be completely replaced. The costs associated with maintaining such equipment in functional condition are usually high. Therefore, it is highly necessary to take effective protective measures for electrical equipment. In humid and hot marine environments, the corrosion and failure of electrical equipment is a complex issue that is related to many factors, such as improper selection of materials, unreasonable structural design of the electrical equipment, and the influence of environmental factors like mold, temperature, humidity, and salt spray. Among these, the microenvironment in which electronic components operate is the most direct and critical factor affecting the corrosion and failure of electrical equipment. To more effectively address the issue of corrosion-induced failure in electrical equipment, it is necessary to accurately assess the severity of corrosion in the microenvironment in which such equipment operates under humid and marine conditions. It is also important to identify the main problems associated with the components inside the electrical equipment, and to implement targeted protective measures based on the data related to the actual operating conditions of those devices.
