A study of fire-induced air-gap voltage breakdown characteristics under HVDC conditions.

A study of fire-induced air-gap voltage breakdown characteristics under HVDC conditions.

This dissertation investigates the role that is played by high temperatures of air gaps on the breakdown voltage levels under DC positive and negative polarity applied voltages. Due to past experience of AC transmission lines tripping as a result of sugar-cane fires that occur under these lines duri...
