Abstract

Composite insulators are widely used in modern power systems to provide electrical insulation and mechanical support for transmission lines and substations. However, the insulation strength will decrease greatly under the combined conditions of ice-covering and contamination, and icing flashovers may take place under these serious conditions. In this paper, AC flashover tests of different artificially ice-covered 220 kV composite insulators were carried out in a multi-function artificial climate chamber under energized ice accumulation conditions. The test results indicate that, with the increasing of ice thickness, the flashover voltages decrease and tend to saturation. The icing flashover voltages can be increased by adding booster sheds, but excessive booster sheds can lead to lower flashover voltages under heavy icing conditions. The voltage distributions of the iced insulators were measured using experimental methods. The results show that, the air gaps withstand most of the applied voltage. The zinc oxide (ZnO) resistors that are contained in the insulators can influence the voltage distributions of the iced insulators, but have little affect on the icing flashover voltages. The work done in this paper can provide reference for the design and type selection of outdoor composite insulators in cold climate regions.
