Influence of Single and Multiple Dry Bands on Critical Flashover Voltage of Silicone Rubber Outdoor Insulators: Simulation and Experimental Study

Dry band formation on the surface of outdoor insulators is one of the main reasons leading to flashover and power outages. In this paper, a dynamic arc model is proposed for single and multiple dry bands configuration to predict the critical flashover voltage for silicone rubber outdoor insulators....
