Abstract
A self-consistent dynamic model allowing the prediction of AC discharge activities leading to flashover on ice-covered insulator surface is presented. This model takes into account the effects of a number of parameters including insulator geometry and applied water conductivity. The instantaneous variations of major parameters are discussed in order to develop a sequential time-dependent simulation of the flashover. The temporal evolution of arc current and axial arc velocity are determined in a consistent manner. The critical flashover voltage characteristics, as a function of surface conductivity, insulator length, and insulator diameter, calculated by the model are quite satisfactory when compared to the experimental results from empirical models reported in the literature
