Abstract
The pollution non-uniformity in the axial and circumferential directions of insulator surface has a great impact on the ac flashover voltage. So far, few studies have been conducted about the flashover voltage performance of Silicone Rubber (SiR) insulators under fan-shaped and longitudinal non-uniform pollutions. Therefore, this paper aimed to investigate the effects of longitudinal non-uniform, fan-shaped non-uniform, and combined longitudinal and fan-shaped non-uniform pollutions on the ac flashover voltage of four different types of SiR insulators. The analysis of experimental results indicated that longitudinal and fan-shaped non-uniform pollutions compared to uniform pollution contributed to an increase and a decrease in the ac flashover voltage, respectively. The ac flashover voltage increases with the increment of longitudinal non-uniformity degree and decreases with the increment of fan-shaped non-uniformity degree. Furthermore, a new correction factor of flashover voltage under combined longitudinal and fan-shaped non-uniform pollutions has been proposed. For all types of insulators, the correction factor under different non-uniform pollution conditions ranges from 0.85 to 1.13.
