- Additional information
- Very limited field knowledge is available about the performance of silicone rubber insulators in polluted and contaminated environments. This paper, which is published in the prestigious journal of Energies, provides a comprehensive knowledge about the flashover characteristics of silicone rubber insulators under humid, contaminated and dry band conditions. These results are being used in the selection and design of silicone rubber insulators for polluted environments. The work is significant because before this work no experimental results existed on the effect of dry band location, width and number of dry bands on flashover voltage and surface resistance.
