Influence of Silicone Rubber Coating on the Characteristics of Surface Streamer Discharge

A pollution flashover along an insulation surface—a catastrophic accident in electrical power system—threatens the safe and reliable operation of a power grid. Silicone rubber coatings are applied to the surfaces of other insulation materials in order to improve the pollution flashover voltage of th...

description A pollution flashover along an insulation surface—a catastrophic accident in electrical power system—threatens the safe and reliable operation of a power grid. Silicone rubber coatings are applied to the surfaces of other insulation materials in order to improve the pollution flashover voltage of the insulation structure.
