Abstract :
Different non-soluble materials are used as non-soluble contaminants in the contamination flashover voltage tests of insulators. Flashover voltage of a porcelain insulator is influenced by the kind of non-soluble contaminants. Kind of non-soluble contaminants may have a significant effect on the flashover voltage performance of polymer insulators. In this paper we present comparative investigation results of the flashover voltage and hydrophobicity recovery characteristics among three most common non soluble contaminants like Tonoko, Kieselguhr and Kaolin
