Ice and snow accretion on insulators has been recognized as a significant risk factor in the reliability of overhead transmission lines and substations. In the presence of a highly conductive water film on the surface of the ice, while applied voltage is sufficiently high, corona discharge activity may be initiated and developed into partial arcs. Under certain conditions, these partial arcs may result in complete flashover. This book aims to study the flashover phenomenon on ice-covered extra-high-voltage (EHV) post insulators. Hence, a two-arc dynamic model based on the existing...
