Abstract
FLASHOVER of suspension insulators on steel towers caused by a deposit of moisture on dirty insulators is not unusual on high-voltage transmission lines. These troubles can be prevented by washing the insulators; however, this procedure is expensive so that frequent washing is undesirable. The aim of the investigation described in this article was to determine means of increasing the insulation level of existing lines under fog and dirt conditions so that the insulators could withstand prolonged contamination.
