Summary on Grant Application Form
1. To characterise the critical conditions for flashover between conductors, and between conductors and earth, in possible compact line configurations.2. To investigate flashover to earth across, and near, insulator strings with defective units and perform similar tests in the related condition where objects at floating potential are in close proximity.3. To investigate pre-breakdown processes, and relate to the results of 1. and 2. above.
