Abstract
Metal particles in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) can cause partial discharge or even flashover on the surface of basin insulator. Based on the fractal theory and streamer breakdown theory, a simulation model of discharge channel on the surface of epoxy insulator is established. By assuming that the defect is metal particles, the discharge channels with different defect locations and different defect degrees are simulated. The fractal dimension of discharge channel is calculated by box width counting method, and its characteristics are analyzed. The results show that the extending velocity of the discharge channel increases exponentially with the development of discharge. With the metal particles close to the high voltage electrode, the critical voltage of flashover decreases, and the fractal dimension of discharge channel increases. The research results can provide theoretical support for exploring the flashover characteristics of metal particles on GIS insulators.
