GENG Cui-ying, WEI Dan, HE Xi. Raining Effect on Frequency Breakdon Voltage[J]. High voltageapparatus, 2010, 46(1): 103-105+108. DOI: 10.13296/j.1001-1609.hva.2010.01.006.
Using a simulated 1∶1 construction of transmission line and tower
the effect of rain with different intensities and paths on power frequency flashover of air-gap between the transmission line and tower was investigated
and the features of power frequency flashover of the air gap were obtained for different intensities and paths of rain.Therefore
the minimum air gap distance is proposed to withstand the maximum power frequency phase voltage of a 500 kV transmission line.This study would provide guidance to the design of transmission line and prevention of discharge caused by windage yaw in the field.
