The paper introduces a new physical approach to account for the effect of reduced air density on the flashover voltage and critical leakage current of polluted high voltage insulators. The analysis starts by updating the mathematical model, previously established, of power frequency flashover of polluted insulators at normal atmospheric pressure. It then proceeds to introduce the effect of ambient pressure on the physical parameters of the dielectric recovery equation. The effect of reduced… CONTINUE READING
