This paper focuses on a systematic and cumulative statistical approach for identifying
symptom parameters of incipient faults in distribution feeders. The proposed method aims to …

This paper represents experimental techniques to simulate the naturally polluted high
voltage insulators, under conditions that simulate the desert environment. Usually, the IEC …

An apparatus is developed for monitoring the leakage currents drawn by an insulator chain
of a power line or a busbar support in a polluted atmosphere. The apparatus monitors the …

A feasibility study on the characterization of incipient insulator failure for distribution fault
prediction is presented. In this study, real distribution data was collected and analyzed to …

The degree of pollution of an insulator polluted rapidly under a saltwater spray is observed
by measurement of the leakage current, which flows between electrodes fixed on the surface …

This study represents experimental techniques for testing the high‐voltage polluted
insulators under conditions simulating the natural environment. International …

Ellipsometry is used to monitor naturally deposited contamination films on HV electrical
power insulators that are used in overhead transmission lines and substations. Good …

The level of contamination on the surface of the insulator is represented by the Equivalent
Salt Deposit Density. In the laboratory, two types of salts (NaCl, CuSO/sub 4/) with different …

The basics of insulators' pollution processes are first reviewed, including the main physical
and chemical factors involved. A novel fibre-optic-based device for measuring leakage and …

The interconnected nature of the power system makes economical use of the power
generated and generally improves overall reliability. However, this increase in reliability …
