Abstract
This paper describes an experimental study of the contamination process on AC energized high voltage insulators under winter conditions. An open loop wind tunnel is installed inside a climate chamber and is operated with a kaolin powder generator and NaCl salt injection system. Through systematic laboratory investigations, the variations of salt deposit density (SDD) with the wind speed were analyzed.
