옥외용 절연체 표면에서의 ESDD 측정과 내오손특성에 관한 연구

초록

This paper presents on contamination performance of polymeric outdoor insulator with different contaminant accumulation. The ESDD (equivalent salt deposit density), tracking resistance and clean-fog test were performed to investigate the characteristics of contamination performance on polymeric outdoor insulator. Furthermore, we evaluated together with the porcelain samples for its comparison. It is found that ESDD of polymeric and porcelain insulator depends on the installation position. This surface accumulation of contaminant lead to the loss of surface hydrophobicity, expecially upper shed part of polymeric insulator. In addition, the effect of an artificial contaminant on the tracking resistance by inclined-plane method and leakage suppression ability under clean fog was surveyed. The time of tracking failure did not appear to change significantly with a much contaminant accumulation, while leakage current under clean-fog increased.
