Abstract

This paper deals with the effect of the magnitude and polarity on the particle initiated breakdown characteristics around a simple shaped spacer in quasi-uniform field gap under lightning impulse voltage superimposed on pre-stressed DC voltage. The results are discussed on the dust figure technique and also on the breakdown voltage / delay time characteristics, while keeping in view the magnitude of the pre-stressed DC applied voltage. Consequently, it was found that the surface charges accumulated on the spacer in the vicinity of the particle tip under the pre-stressed DC voltage play an important role in the particle initiated breakdown phenomenon.
