Abstract :
The mechanism of breakdown on an insulator surface contaminated with different species of salts under high voltage dc (HVDC) has been studied. Deleterious effects of nitrates on insulating surfaces were investigated in particular. Their influence on the structural integrity of insulators is discussed.
