    1. The experiment aims to study flashover of disc insulators under dry and wet conditions to determine string efficiency. 2. The procedure involves setting up disc insulators on a test frame, applying increasing voltage until corona and flashover occurs, recording the voltages, and repeating for different numbers of discs and wet conditions. 3. Key specifications of the 11kV disc insulators tested include a visible discharge voltage of 9kV, flashover voltages of 65kV dry and 45kV wet, and electro-mechanical strength of 70kN.

    Flashover Experiment
    Objective
    Flashover study of Disc Insulators and determination of string efficiency. Under
    a) dry condition and b) wet condition

    Circuit diagram

    Procedure
    1. Place the test frame (or stand) at suitable position.
    2. Hang the disc with frame hanger as shown in circuit.
    3. Clamping the GI ware clip at bottom of disc properly.
    4. Complete the connection from HV transformer to ball pin of the disc insulator
    and earthed the frame properly with earth pit.
    5. First, test the insulator at dry conditions (including correction factors) but at
    wet condition water arrangement should be checked as it works fine.
    6. Close the Circuit Breaker S1.
    7. Slowly raise the voltage till faint hissing sound is audible. This is the
    beginning of corona.
    8. Slowly raise the voltage till such time that flashover at dry state is occurred.
    Reduce the voltage completely and open the CB.
    9. Repeat the step 6 to 8 by increase the number of disc insulator.
    10. Similarly, for wet test, first start the water shower at disc insulator(s) through
    nozzles. Then repeat the step from 6 to 9 and observed the values.

    Discussion
    1) How does rating of a disc insulator define?
    2) Will greasing help to increase the flashover voltage during wet condition, if yes, how?
    3) Why electro-mechanical strength is important rather than mechanical strength for a
    disc insulator?
