Factors Contributing to Haze Formation and the Influence on Power Equipments External Insulation

Keywords: Haze, PM2.5, External insulation, Pollution flashover voltage, High conductivity fog Abstract. Haze-fog has been a severe pollution weather phenomenon in China due to a large number of emissions of pollutants with the rapid development of economy. The areas burst haze are usually coincidence with high density of electricity transmission line corridor or power load areas, and so the pollution flashover accidents happen frequently. In this paper the haze pollution situations and factors contributing to haze are introduced, and the mechanisms of haze inducing and aggravating the pollution flashover accidents are explained by analyzing the temporal and spatial distribution of PM2.5 and size characteristics of dust deposited transmission. Moreover, the influences of haze on power transmission and transformation equipment external insulation are discussed with combining the simulation pollution flashover experiments of high conductivity fog.
