Zusammenfassung:The fundamental characteristics of ac contaminated flashover on iced insulators were studied for the three icing states, i.e., glaze, hard rime and soft rime, which are observed most frequently in service conditions. The results showed that thawed snow with a relatively low salt concentration can produce a salt deposit density (SDD) high enough for flashover on an iced insulator. For the same concentration of contamination liquid, average values of SDD for icing states are 5 to 9 times higher than those for icing-free conditions. The results also showed that the minimum flashover stress of the soft rime condition is 20% lower than that of icing-free conditions. For this reason, we deduced that the number density of Na atoms in the discharge space at flashover tends to become highest under the soft rime conditions.
