“…The test results showed that the flashover voltage U 50 decreases with the increase of T/B, where T/B is ratio of the salt deposit density (SDD) on the top surface to that on the bottom surface. Similar conclusions can be found in references [11,12].…”

“…Not only does the contamination degree have an effect on flashover voltage, but also the contamination non-uniformity has great influence on flashover voltage, many documents have conducted in-depth research on this [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In literature [9], we can find that the uniform distribution of the pollution has given a weaker dielectric rigidity than the one obtained in non-uniform pollution.…”

Non-Uniform Distribution of Contamination on Composite Insulators in HVDC Transmission Lines

In recent years, the air particulate pollutants formed by the combustion of fossil fuels and the emission of industrial waste gases have constantly been produced, and the polluted particles deposit also seriously affects social production and people’s lives. For instance, pollution-induced flashover is seriously threatening the safe operation of the power system, while insulator pollution non-uniformity has great influence on the flashover voltage of insulators. Therefore, in this paper both field contamination experiments of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission lines and wind tunnel contamination simulation tests were conducted, and pollution non-uniformity coefficient KT/B, KW/L and KH/M were proposed and obtained. The results showed that the degree of contamination on top surface and leeward side is heavier than that on bottom surface and windward side. Thus, in the DC energized condition, contamination along the string is also non-uniform, and serious pollution occurs mainly in the high voltage terminal. In order to explain the uneven distribution phenomenon along the string, the coupling-physics model of composite insulator string was established and using the finite element method, the electric field around the insulator was simulated. Furthermore, basing on the field charging theory, the value of electric field force on particles around the insulator surface was calculated and the mechanism of non-uniformity along the insulator sting was then explained. The results are very important for guiding insulation design and field anti-pollution works.
