Study on Flashover Characteristics and Mechanism of Insulator in Wind-sand Environment
Insulators in the wind-sand environment will have abnormal flashover phenomenon
which seriously threaten the safe operation of the power transmission line.For in-depth understanding the flashover characteristics of insulators in wind-sand environment
the effect law of wind speed
sand flow and sand diameter on the flashover characteristics of insulators are studied by means of experiment in this paper.It is found by the experimental results that the influence of wind speed on the insulator flashover voltage is nonlinear.As the wind speed increases
the flashover voltage of the insulator shows the tendency of rising first and then falling.At the same time
it is found that the increase of sand flow and sand diameter will reduce the flashover voltage of insulators.In order to understand the flashover mechanism of the insulator further
it is proved by the combination of theoretical derivation and experimental verification that the flashover process of insulator in the airflow field is affected by both air-blowing effect and the lowpressure effect.It is found through simulation analysis that the increase of sand flow will increase the electric field distortion around the insulator.Increase of the diameter of the sand keeps the maximum electric field strength increased around the sand
which leads to an increase unevenness in electric field and a decrease in the flashover voltage.
