Abstract: This paper is aimed at the study of the influence of salts and salts mixtures
on dc flashover discharge of high voltage polluted insulators. Its shown that the type of
salt and salts mixtures dont have a significant influence on the critical voltages at both
polarities. The critical voltages computed using the dynamic equations of dc flashover
discharge characteristic constants (n and N) of polluted insulators we established
elsewhere are found in a good accordance with the experimental ones. It also appears
from this study that the most important components of the discharge column are water
vapour and air and the transfer of metal ions has not a significant influence on
flashover voltage.

Where i, vi and Ai are the thermal conductivity, volume
fraction and a kinetic gas coefficient respectively for
each constituent; indexes a and v are related to air and
water vapour respectively assuming that the discharge
column contains water vapour and air. The term i
depends on temperature and species constituting the
discharge column. Td is the axial temperature required
to provide the necessary amount of thermal ionisation.
rd, and rp are respectively the linear resistance of
discharge channel and pollution layer respectively.

This work shows that type of salt and salt mixture have
dont have a significant influence on critical voltages.
The effect of the polarity of applied voltage can be
explained as a consequence of accumulation of
charges (neutral or negative) at the front of the head of
the discharge. The critical voltages computed using the
dynamic equations of n and N we established
elsewhere are found in a good accordance with the
experimental ones. It also appears from this study that
the most important components of the discharge
column are water vapour and air and the transfer of
metallic ion has not a significant influence on flashover
voltage.
