13、normal service voltage under certain pollutionconditions,owing to the setting up of a very uneven voltage distribution on its external surface and/orbecause of very rapid changes in this distribution.These two stages arise as a consequence of theformation under such conditions of an initially nearly
14、 continuous conducting surface layer consistingtypically of an aqueous solution of electrolyte formed under high humidity by the moisture pick-up ofhygroscopic solid particles or liquid droplets deposited on the surface.Dusts may also be present,affecting the washing and drying characteristics of th
15、e surface.It is well established also that the effectof Jeakage current heating the surface layer,when the conductivity is high enough,is to cause drybandsto form,across which most of the voltage drop occurs and that surges of leakage-current occurwhen these bands are temporarily bridged by an arc.T
16、hese phenomena can result in the voltage applied across some of the gaps exceeding their sparkovervalue,with consequential failure,in some cases,through disturbance of the gap potentials caused bycapacitive coupling between electrodes and wet bands.It is consequently the primary purpose of artificia
17、l pollution testing of surge arresters to simulaterelevant pollution conditions,representative of those occurring in service and establishing that whensubjected to these,the surge arrester,energized at appropriate power-frequency voltage does not suffergap sparkover.99-3IEC-9-Pollution flashover of
18、the surge arrester surface is a serious matter operationally,and the performancein this respect also must be determined.This is discussed in the following paragraphs.There is now evidence both from service and testing that the pollution conditions which may result insurge arrester sparkover can be g
19、enerally different from those leading to surface flashover.The latter isassociated typically with severe conditions characterized by frequent high-amplitude leakage-currentsurges,whereas gap sparkover is typically associated with pollution onset or drying-out of the pollutant.Accordingly,separate te
20、sts for these two distinct modes of failure may be needed,at least with some testmethods.Some artificial pollution test methods for surface flashover of high-voltage insulators have beendeveloped to a stage where they are generally accepted as giving a valid indication of pollutionperformance.These
21、are fully described in IEC 507.The essential common feature of the tests,eventhough there are differefices in the polluting techniques,are the repeatable production of variousdegrees or severitiesof pollution,measured,for example,in terms of specific conductance of thepollutant,application of a suit
22、able test voltage and consequent determination of the performance interms of a given severity.The mode of operation of surge arresters,however,is such that the methods used for insulator testingare not directly applicable to surge arresters,especially in respect of arrester sparkover.The testsdescri
23、bed in this report,though broadly based on those ofIEC 507,are essentially aimed at meeting thespecial requirements for surge arrester operation and bear specifically on gap sparkover.The methods of IEC 507 are directly applicable to surface flashover of insulation,and it is accordinglyrecommended t
24、hat they should be used to determine performance in this respect.It should be noted that the tests according to IEC 507 with respect to such surface flashover perfor-mance and those proposed here to check sparkover performance are recommended only for surgearresters exposed to natural pollution,poss
25、ibly with live washing,and not for those subject to periodiccleaning or greasing.From the foregoing account of the failure mechanism it follows that for pollution tests of both kinds,itis essential that they be performed on a complete service surge arrester assembly.When sufficient experience has be
26、en gained from the tests described in the following clauses,thisexperience will form the basis of a type test.NOTE-In service.surge arresters sometimes suffer long-term deterioration associated with intemal corona discharges.The tests described in this report do not demonstrate the performance of th
27、e surge arrester in this respect.4 Test objective2灯The objective of the test is to establish that the surge arrester can withstand a specified severity ofpollution without sparkover when energized at a specified voltage or voltage-application mode,bothseverity and voltage mode being representative of service conditions.
