PURPOSE: A water repellent measuring device of a polymer insulator for power transmission is provided to directly measure water repellent of a polymer insulator in a steel tower arm where the polymer insulator is installed and to efficiently and easily diagnose a state of the polymer insulator. CONSTITUTION: A water repellent measuring device of a polymer insulator for power transmission comprises an upper part support unit(30), a lower part support unit(40), a moving guide(50), a measuring unit(20), and a manipulation unit(10). The upper part support unit is fixed to the upper part of the polymer insulator and lower part support unit is fixed to the lower part of the polymer insulator. The moving guide connects the upper and lower part support units. The measuring unit moves along the moving guide sprays distilled water on the surface of the polymer insulator and photographs the surface of the polymer insulator where the distilled water is sprayed. The manipulation unit supplies the distilled water to the measuring unit and controls movement and photography shooting of the measuring unit and saves photographing data.
