Flashover of polluted insulators in contaminated areas is one of the most important factors influencing the operation of transmission and distribution lines and finally line outages. Therefore, it is essential to prevent and detect flashover in the insulators. Hence, utilizing the insulator status monitoring systems and predicting their functions have absorbed a lot of attention over the recent years. In this paper, a new method is proposed for flashover prediction in porcelain and glass insulators. In this regard, a variety of experiments has been conducted on different types of insulators under different environmental conditions and analysis of their leakage current harmonics have been investigated. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis applied to the saved leakage current waveforms shows a strong correlation between the ratio of the third to fifth harmonic amplitudes by regarding the occurrence of critical conditions and degree of insulator ageing. Then, the third to fifth harmonic ratio of the leakage current (R3/5) has been proposed as an indicator of critical conditions in porcelain and glass insulators. The results of these experiments show that the mentioned harmonic ratio has a definite and constant procedure against the changes in the type of pollution and humidity rate. The results of experiments have indicated that increasing the index R3/5 to more than one represents a critical condition in the insulators and estimates a high probability of flashover. Also in whole the tests, value of the total harmonic distortion (THD) and flashover voltage are measured.

This paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for AC flash-over voltage prediction of Silicone Rubber (SiR) insulators based on the experimental tests. In flash-over tests, the flash-over voltages of four different types of SiR insulators are measured under the uniform, longitudinal non-uniform, fan-shaped non-uniform and combined longitudinal, and fan-shaped non-uniform pollution conditions. The proposed ANN model is designed with six inputs data (insulator geometry and pollution parameters) and one output data (flash-over voltage). In order to validate the model, three different types of SiR insulators are tested under different pollution conditions. Then, their flash-over voltages are predicted using the proposed ANN model. The validation of the model shows that the absolute values of relative errors between flash-over voltages of test and prediction are less than 6%. This indicates a high efficiency of ANN technique in the flash-over voltage prediction of SiR insulators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Highlights • Using the experimental tests, the effects of longitudinal and fan-shaped non-uniform pollutions on the ac flashover voltage of SiR insulators are investigated and analyzed. • The experimental results indicate that the flashover voltage increases under longitudinal non-uniform pollution and decreases under fan-shaped non-uniform pollution, compared to uniform pollution. • A new flashover voltage correction factor under combined longitudinal and fan-shaped non-uniform pollutions is proposed based on the test results. 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a mathematical model of critical parameters on the polluted ceramic insulators based on experimental analysis has been presented. In these cases, the effect of pollution and humidity on the leakage current and applied voltage of the insulators has been investigated. Also, the effect of the insulator shed on the critical parameters has been considered as the factor M. The profile factor M is the ratio of top level leakage distance to bottom leakage distance of insulator. Indeed, the value of the factor M has been defined as a criterion in experimental tests to determine the insulators' electric strength. As well, to determine the constants of electric arc, the theoretical and experimental results have been compared, thus values of these constants have been determined. So, by presented mathematical model the critical parameters will be predicted. The closeness of results between proposed mathematical model and experiment confirms the veracity of the presented model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an improved method to diagnose the critical conditions in the porcelain and glass insulators has been proposed through investigating leakage current (LC) and applied voltage signals. Hence, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis has been used to calculate the phase angle values of the applied voltage and LC signals. Analyzing phase angle difference of LC and applied voltage waveforms demonstrate a strong correlation of the phase difference between the applied voltage and LC waveforms with the insulators conditions. So, the phase difference cosine (P.D%) has been offered as a diagnostic index of porcelain and glass insulators conditions. In this case, when the P.D% value is lower than 30%, the insulators are in clean and normal conditions. On the other hand, if the P.D% is more than 30%, the insulators are in extreme conditions. Moreover, by increasing %P.D value more than 85%, the probability of the flashover occurrence in porcelain and glass insulators will be very high. The obtained experimental results validate the veracity of considering P.D% as a criterion for prediction of flashover in porcelain and glass insulators. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

- Abstract
Metal‐oxide surge arresters are one of the most important equipments for power system protection against switching and lightning over‐voltages. Surge arresters leakage currents increase by the operating time. In this study, the important factors on leakage current variations such as surface contamination, ultraviolet ageing and varistor degradation have been studied. To accomplish this purpose, experimental tests have been performed on various polymer housed surge arresters. Fast Fourier transform analysis has been performed on measured leakage currents. Results show that ultraviolet radiation and varistor degradation affect resistive harmonic components, especially the third and fifth harmonics. Moreover, it is observed that surface contamination has influence on fundamental harmonic variation more than ultraviolet ageing. In addition, combination of ultraviolet radiation and pollution had more effect on leakage currents. The investigation and the discussion of the results can be used to easily analyse arresters condition leading to effective schedule maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Metal oxide surge arresters are important equipments that apply to power system for protection against switching and lightning over-voltages. Surge arrester monitoring technique based on leakage current analysis is a conventional monitoring method. Lack of proper features and thresholds is most important limitation of this method. In this paper, new monitoring indexes for surge arrester diagnostic are proposed to determine surge arrester condition under different situations including clean condition, surface contamination and ultraviolet aging. The experimental tests have been performed on polymer surge arresters to evaluate the ability of the proposed indexes for distinguishing the operating condition of surge arresters. Results have been shown the viability of the new indexes on surge arrester monitoring procedures. The investigation and the discussion of the produced results can give good ideas the electric engineers in order to easily analyze arresters’ condition leading to effective schedule maintenance.

COMPOSITE insulators , *THERMAL stresses , *ELECTRIC insulators & insulation , *POLLUTION , *SCANNING electron microscopy - Abstract
• Artificial pollution flashover tests have been utilized under ac voltage to investigate the impact of uniform and FSNU pollution on flashover voltage of composite insulators. • Morphological effects of multi-stress aging have been carried out by the SEM analysis. • The effects of contamination roughness and extension on flashover voltage of the polymeric insulators have been conducted. • Simultaneous presence effect of non-uniform pollution and multi-stress aging on the flashover voltage of polymeric insulators has been analyzed. Pollution deposition along with ultraviolet (UV) radiation and electro-thermal stress cause the composite insulators to face with critical conditions. The type of pollution which settles on insulators is not only uniform but also it can be non-uniform and uneven. In this study, the results of the uniform and fan-shaped non-uniform (FSNU) pollution tests on four various types of virgin and aged polymeric insulators under AC voltage are presented. To find the effects of accelerated aging on polymer chains of composite insulators, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is carried out. Based on IEC 60507, the solid layer method is applied to settle pollution on the insulator surface. The results demonstrate that the flashover voltage of virgin and also aged samples decreased when pollution non-uniformity degree (J) increases from 1 to 13. The flashover voltage of studied insulators is reduced by increasing the occupation ratio (K). However, the impact of K was lesser than J on flashover voltage of the polymeric insulators. Investigated polymeric insulators have been aged up to six weeks (1000 h). Although the influence of two weeks (333 h) accelerated aging on flashover voltage and morphology of the composite insulators was not tangible, therefore flashover strength of the samples is decreased while the aging period time increases. Statistical analysis has been done to estimate the flashover voltage of accelerated aged composite insulators under uniform and FSNU pollution based on virgin insulators. The research aimed to select insulators in windy and sunny areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Evaluate the effect of different insulator profiles on Flashover Voltage (FOV). • Analyze the risk of the insulators utilization under different ambient conditions. • Effect of different pollutions and humidities variations on the reliability of the aged Silicone Rubber (SiR) insulators. • Reliability of the aged Silicone Rubber (SiR) insulators has been calculated. In this paper, the effect of different pollution and humidity variations on the reliability of aged Silicone Rubber (SiR) insulators are investigated. Firstly, four different types of 20 kV SiR insulators have been selected to evaluate the effect of different insulator profiles on Flashover Voltage (FOV). Then artificially accelerated aging tests with 1000 h duration have been conducted for the aging of insulators. Numerous FOV tests have been carried out on the aged SiR insulators under different humidity and pollutions. Next, the risk of insulators utilization under different ambient conditions have been calculated by using the experimental test's data. Finally, the reliability of insulators under different conditions have been calculated and a new mathematical model for the reliability in different humidity has been proposed. The effect of SiR insulator profiles on FOV has been studied and the results have been shown that lower FOV is related to insulators with thicker profiles as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Leakage current magnitude decreases under longitudinal non-uniform pollution. • Leakage current magnitude increases with increasing the aging time and humidity. • Phase angle of leakage current is analysed based on the insulator pollution level. • The non-uniformity of pollution distribution has little effect on the phase angle. • Increase of humidity leads to a slight decrease in the phase angle. This paper presents the comprehensive analysis of Leakage Current (LC) of a silicone rubber insulator under uniform and longitudinal non-uniform pollution conditions based on a large amount of test data. The experimental tests are carried out under different humidity levels for un-aged and aged samples. The results obtained indicate that the LC harmonics magnitudes increase with increasing the salt deposit density, aging time, and humidity, while they decrease with increasing the pollution non-uniformity degree. The analysis of phase angle difference between LC and applied voltage (θ I - V °) demonstrates that the θ I - V ° is in the range of 54.3°–60.4°, 20.1°–32.5°, and 7.5°–11.8° under clean condition, light pollution and moderate pollution conditions, respectively. In addition, the θ I - V ° is less than 2.3° under heavy pollution condition. The non-uniformity of pollution distribution and insulator aging time have very little effect on the θ I - V ° , while the increase of humidity leads to a slight decrease in the θ I - V °.

• A dynamic theoretical model is proposed for AC flashover under pollution condition. • It calculates flashover parameters for the fan-shaped non-uniformly degrees. • The experimental tests are performed on the sample insulator to validate model. • With increasing non-uniformly degrees, the critical flashover voltage decreases. • Using experimental results, the propoer insulation level is selected for a sample system. The geometry of fan-shaped pollution on the surface of an insulator accounts for two different values of Salt Deposit Density (SDD), conductivity, and resistance on the leeward and windward sides of the insulator. This paper proposes a novel dynamic theory model of AC flashover based on equivalent resistance in the presence of a fan-shaped pollution layer. The proposed model can calculate flashover parameters for different values of the fan-shaped pollution density degree (T) and extension degree (J) considering instantaneous variables in arc progression. In this model, the arc current is formulated using the arc equivalent circuit for a constant arc voltage in terms of arc length propagation. Also, the Form Factor (F) is defined as a function of the arc length by sampling from the desired insulator and curve fitting. To validate the analytical model, some experiments are performed on an insulator unit of suspension porcelain by applying artificial pollution at three levels: light, medium, and heavy. Test results show that the critical flashover voltage (CFO) is reduced by 19% by varying J from 1 (uniform pollution) to 1/15. Moreover, by varying T from 10% to 30%, the CFO decreases by 9%. As the non-uniformity degree increases, the correction factor varies in the range of 0.798 ~ 0.938. The proposed modeling of flashover provided by the paper could be used to perform a dimensioning method on insulators under fan-shaped pollution conditions. Also, the proposed model can be included in the EMTP-type platforms to determine the minimum insulator flashover characteristic that will provide an adequate flashover performance under pollution conditions.
