Abstract

Pollution flashover of outdoor insulators is a common risk, which affects the safe operation of overhead transmission networks. Early electrical power systems, which feature insulators made from ceramic materials have been used all over the world with good performance. At present, non-ceramic insulators are in common use, as a result of their good electrical as well as mechanical properties. The aim of this paper is to discuss and compare the flashover performance of insulators typically used in power lines, such as, porcelain, ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (EPDM) rubber, room temperature vulcanized (RTV) and high temperature vulcanized (HTV) coated silicone rubber. The effect of various parameters, including the severity of pollution, ice accumulation, and shade profile, are considered.. From the studies reviewed it was concluded that there is a distinct difference in the flashover voltages of different types of insulators, and the silicone provides the best flashover performance of all insulating materials.
