Abstract |
The results of an experimental investigation into the breakdown characteristics of a model power line in the presence of oil flame are reported under the application of 60[Hz] ac and dc high-voltages. It is appeared that flame can reduce by more than half, 80[%] in maximum, the breakdown voltage with the case of h=0 under ac and dc applications. Taking a horizontal model line with a k=0.5 of flame position, it can be seen from the results that the reduction of flashover levels, in comparison with the no-flame case, are 78.6[%] for h=0[cm], 59.7[%] for h=3[cm], 46.9[%] for h=6[cm], 41.5[%] for h=9[cm] and 35.4[%] for h=12[㎝] when ac voltage is applied. |
