Abstract :
Arcing experiments are conducted in a laboratory setting to investigate the development of dry band arcing on ADSS fiber optic cables. The development of dry-band arcing within every power frequency cycle is filmed with a high-speed video camera and analyzed. The relationship between arc length and open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current is obtained. Studies show that the growth of arc length due to short-circuit current is larger than that caused by open-circuit voltage.
