Abstract
Affected by long-term crosswind, insulator surface will get coated with fan-shaped non-uniform pollution, which lowers insulator flashover voltage as previous study revealed. In this study, a further research in specific to HVDC line insulation is presented. Taking typical dc insulator as the sample, its dc flashover performance under fan-shaped non-uniform pollution was tested. Then the influence of that kind non-uniformity was investigated through analysing the pollution layer residual resistance, the flashover process and critical flashover voltage. Finally the relevant HVDC insulation selection was made. Research results indicate that: under fan-shaped non-uniform pollution, insulator flashover voltage ( U 50) gets impaired, and is more obviously impaired by ratio J of windward to leeward side salt deposit density (SDD) than leeward side area proportion T ; under various T and J , there is still an exponential relationship between U 50 and SDD; under fan-shaped non-uniform pollution the pollution layer residual resistance decreases, which theoretically promotes the arc propagation and flashover process, and thus finally lowers flashover voltage; for the transmission line in area with fan-shaped non-uniform pollution, adding insulator units to strengthen the withstand property are needed.
