In the current study, a multi-arc predicting model for DC critical flashover voltage of iced and pre-contaminated long … ice layer under DC multi-arc condition is established. To validate the model, 7-unit and 15-unit insulator strings were … tested in a multi-function artificial climate chamber under the coexistent conditions of low air pressure, pollution, and …
