Novel dc flashover model for predicting flashover voltage of the iced insulators

Model for Predicting DC Flashover Voltage of Pre-Contaminated and Ice-Covered Long Insulator Strings

In the current study, a multi-arc predicting model for DC critical flashover voltage of iced and pre-contaminated long insulator strings under low atmospheric pressure is developed. The model is composed of a series of different polarity surface arcs, icicle-icicle air gap arcs, and residual layer resistance. The calculation method of the residual resistance of the ice layer under DC multi-arc ...

Design of an artificial neural network for the estimation of the flashover voltage on insulators

This work attempts to apply an artificial neural network in order to estimate the critical flashover voltage on polluted insulators. The artificial eural network uses as input variables the following characteristics of the insulator: diameter, height, creepage distance, form factor and equivalent alt deposit density, and estimates the critical flashover voltage. The data used to train the netwo...

Computation of AC flashover voltage of polluted HV insulators using a dynamic arc model

Flashover of polluted insulators is still a serious threat to the safe operation of a power transmission system. Despite the extensive investigations carried out on the pollution performance of the insulators, the flashover characteristics are not well understood. Recent theoretical and experimental research on polluted insulators is yet to yield a perfect generalized mathematical model which c...

Electrical Circuit Flashover Model of Polluted Insulators under AC Voltage Based on the Arc Root Voltage Gradient Criterion

In order to study the flashover mechanism of polluted insulators under AC voltage, a new arc propagation criterion which is based on an arc root voltage gradient is proposed. This criterion can explain the variation of the arc root voltage gradient in the arc propagation process. Based on this criterion, a new distributed parameter electrical circuit flashover model of polluted insulators is pr...
