Abstract :
The basic contamination research problems at Project UHV are discussed. Results of flashover tests on 27 types of insulators are presented with discussions on the test method. The performance of insulators is found not to be proportional to the leakage distance, and the influence of the shape of the insulator unit on its performance is demonstrated.
