Insulators for icing and polluted environments

After reading the appropriate parts of this book, engineers and environmentalspecialists will be able to carry out appropriate insulator contamination measurements, understand how these readings change with time and weather, and work out how the readings compare with the upper limits set by insulator dimensions in their existing stations. Design engineers will be able to assess the likely maximum pollution and icing limits at a substation or along an overhead line, and then select insulators that have appropriate withstand margins. Regulators will understand why modest ice accretion at a moderate 0°C temperature onone occasion can qualify as a major reliability event day, while many similardays pass each winter without power system problems. Educators will understand why the ice surface flashover is well behaved compared to the conventional pollution flashover, making it much more suitable for demonstrations, modeling and analysis by researchers and graduate students working in this area.
