The theoretical results show that the net charges in the streamer channel at normal temperatures are zero, but they are positive at high temperatures so that the advancing field is reinforced more than that at normal temperatures. Therefore, the field required for streamer propagation is reduced at high temperatures. The sparkover voltage is largely reduced with increased temperature, which is influenced by the solid materials in the flame.展开更多

Many test results of ZnO arresters protection performance show that this insulation arrangement is suitable for practical lines according to results based on only simple impulse voltage. This paper uses a composite voltage (switching impulse voltage/alternating voltage) to determine the air breakdown behavior of the conductor rod gap in series with the sphere gap. In the test, the switching impulse voltage is applied to the conductor while the alternating voltage is applied to the rod and one sphere and the other sphere is grounded. The results show that in some cases, the value of the U 50% sparkover voltage for the conductor rod gap with the composite voltage is nearly only half of that for just the simple impulse voltage.展开更多
