The Research on Deposition Saturation of Disc Suspension Porcelain Insulator

Abstract

The equivalent salt deposit density (ESDD) is an important characteristic of our country which is used to measure insulator deposition level. The contamination of the insulator would reach saturation after a period of time.In order to increase the specific creepage distance, disc suspension porcelain insulator lower surface inward concave, which makes the rain washing the upper surface difficult, that cause the saturation time of lower surface longer than upper surface .For studying the operation insulator contamination saturation time and reflecting the ESDD of the actual operation line accurately,this paper adopts a comparison method between empty hanging insulator surface and operation insulator surface to measure the ESDD , the field experimental results further verify that the saturated time of disc suspension insulator lower surface is longer, so as to lay the foundation for the ESDD measurement.
