Mathematical modeling of flashover mechanism due to deposition of fire-produced soot particles on suspension insulators of a HVTL
This paper presents a mathematical integrated model that simulates the coupled events causing flashover due to the deposition of soot particles on suspension insulators of high voltage transmission lines (HVTL). The model considers non-steady three-dimensional multi-phase flow of agricultural fire producing the soot particles. In addition, the model describes in detail the mechanism of the soot deposition combined with the ... Read more
