Abstract :
A COMPARISON of the impulse flashover characteristics of various forms of protecting gaps and of station insulation shows these characteristics to vary widely for different degrees of overpotentials. In the usual type of protecting gaps, little or no provision has been made for adjustment in order to have the arcing characteristics of the gap conform to the insulation for the range of transients encountered in practise.
