Abstract
This paper describes the results of investigation into
influence of the kind ofnonsoluble contaminant (Tonoko or Kaolin)
on flashover voltages of artificially contaminated insulators. Deposit
density of Kaolin on the insulator surface is less than that ofTonoko
when contaminated with the suspension containing the same amount
ofTonoko or Kaolin. However, discernible difference is observed in
contamination flashover voltage between these two nonsoluble
contaminants, not only under DC but also under AC when
nonsoluble contaminant deposit densities (NSDD) are adjusted to
the same degree. The difference in the performance is considered
attributable to the less uniform contaminant layer produced by
Tonoko suspension compared with Kaolin. When a dispersion agent
was added to Tonoko suspension, which does not give any influence
on the conductivity of the suspension, the layer uniformity and
flashover voltage (FOY) for this modified Tonoko suspension
became almost equal to those for Kaolin.
