Atmospheric variations and apparatus flashover
Electrical Engineering, 1941I. Introduction IN practically all electrical apparatus use is made of the insulating properties of air. The electrical breakdown strength of air, for the electrode arrangements found in apparatus, depends upon air temperature, pressure and moisture content.

Impulse Flashover of Insulators
Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1929For the most part this paper is a discussion of the mechanism of insulator flashover. The breakdown of air between electrodes, with particular consideration of the effect of various factors upon the flashover characteristics of insulator strings equipped with arcing rings, is discussed.

UV Induced Insulator Flashover
2008 IEEE International Power Modulators and High-Voltage Conference, 2008Insulators are critical components in high-energy, pulsed power systems. It is known that the vacuum surface of the insulator will flashover when illuminated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation depending on the insulator material, insulator cone angle, applied voltage and insulator short-history.

Flashover of suspension insulators
Electrical Engineering, 1949FLASHOVER of suspension insulators on steel towers caused by a deposit of moisture on dirty insulators is not unusual on high-voltage transmission lines. These troubles can be prevented by washing the insulators; however, this procedure is expensive so that frequent washing is undesirable.

Remedies are called for, evidently, when the flashover frequency rises above acceptable levels. What is 'acceptable' depends on the importance of the line or substation and on the required quality of supply, in terms of outage time per year. Standards thus vary widely: for lines, a rate of about one flashover per 150 km per year is general for ...

Observable characteristics of flashover
Fire Safety Journal, 2012Abstract Definitions of flashover are multifarious but may be categorized as three types: mathematical, visual and those relying on diction. There are at least two arguments to be had with regard to the definition of flashover: (i) Is rapidity of transition to a state of total surface involvement an essential criterion for flashover?

Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena - Annual Report 1973, 1973
When a solid insulator in vacuum is subjected to a high-voltage pulse with short rise time, a low-resistance flashover path may be formed in a few nanoseconds across several centimeters of insulator surface.1,2 Although the details of the breakdown mechanism remain obscure, it is generally accepted that field emission of electrons at the cathode ...

Proceedings ISDEIV. 18th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (Cat. No.98CH36073), 2002
Despite a controversy that is as old as the model the secondary electron cascade for explaining the flashover still abounds. However, advanced understanding of charge trapping and associated energetic phenomena in insulators open new perspectives. The logic of pulse power experiments was to measure a flashover strength under short voltage pulses (ns ...

Flashover inhibition by encapsulation
7th Pulsed Power Conference, 2005The utilization of high voltage electrodes in vacuum environments is common in a number of pulsed power applications. A limitation to voltage amplitude and/or pulse duration is flashover across the insulator separating the electrodes. Most often in cases where external effects are not involved, the cause of flashover is due to electron emission from ...

Considerations of Flashover Propagation
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 2018Flashover propagation of plasma on a solar panel is considered from a physics standpoint. Although useful as a first attempt to describe the flashover phenomenon, the previous perimeter theory is s...
