- Additional information
- This original work presents a novel technique based on scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR FTIR) to investigate the impact of environmental factors. Also, the relations between discharge current, electric field, acidity (pH) and conductivity of acidic fog on insulator surfaces are discussed to investigate the mechanisms behind insulator failure. Research data has provided references for the better prediction of surface degradation as well as for the better material coating and design of external insulation.
