High Voltage Experiments

AI-generated Abstract

This research paper investigates the performance of pin-type insulators used in high voltage applications by evaluating their AC flashover voltage under dry and wet conditions. The experiments reveal that the insulators can withstand higher voltages than the minimum WAPDA standards, indicating their reliability in dry environments. However, the flashover voltage decreases significantly under wet conditions, underscoring the need for careful consideration in applications where insulators may be exposed to moisture. The findings provide important insights into the design and application of insulators in electrical systems, particularly in ensuring safety and reliability.
