Learn to correct icing and pollution problems in electrical line
insulation

Written by prominent experts in the field, this book takes an
in-depth look at the issues of electrical insulators for icing and
polluted environments. It shows:

* Engineers and environmental specialists how to carry out
appropriate insulator contamination measurements, understand how
these readings change with time and weather, and work out how the
readings compare with the upper limits set by insulator dimensions
in their existing stations

* Design engineers how to assess the likely maximum
pollution and icing limits at a substation or along an overhead
line, and then select insulators that have appropriate withstand
margins

* Regulators why modest ice accretion at a moderate
0¯oC temperature on one occasion can qualify as a major
reliability event day, while many similar days pass each winter
without power system problems

* Educators why the ice surface flashover is well behaved
compared to the conventional pollution flashover, making it much
more suitable for demonstrations, modeling, and analysis

The book is complemented with case studies and design equations
to help readers identify the most appropriate insulators, bushings,
and maintenance plans for their local conditions. Additionally,
readers may download supplemental materials supporting evaluation
of local climate and contamination.

Insulators for Icing and Polluted Environments is
indispensable reading for any professional who needs reliable
electrical supply from networks exposed to sources of wetting and
pollution. It also serves as an excellent introduction to the
subjects of high-voltage surface flashover, environmental
electrochemistry, and insulation coordination for researchers,
professors, and students.

Rezensionen

"This is one of the most authoritative reference books available on
the subject of insulator flashover under icing and contaminated
conditions. It also provides a good introduction to high voltage
surface breakdown, insulation coordination, and environmental
electrochemistry. It is indispensable reading for those responsible
for designing reliable power systems exposed to environmental icing
and contamination." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine,
2011)



"Readers who finish this well-written book will be prepared to
understand and face a sizeable fraction of the current problems
involved in learning to correct icing and pollution problems in
electrical line insulation. The book provides clear insight on how
they can best position themselves for coping with situations that
arise in icing ad polluted environments." (Current Engineering
Practice, 1 November 2010)
