Abstract :
This paper presents the results of research undertaken with the aim of obtaining the recovery conditions for an AC arc on iced surfaces. Using a cylindrical ice sample, the relationship linking the arc current, minimum arc recovery voltages and the voltage across the arc may be obtained. The results provided by this model may be used to calculate the AC flashover voltage of industrial ice-covered insulators
