Abstract :
This paper reports positive switching impulse flashover characteristics of thin wire-plane gaps. Flashover tests were made under both conditions that switching impulses were added with or without ac or dc corona occurring previously. Flashover distances were up to 4 m, and ac or dc bias voltage was 400 kV crest.
