Experimental Study of Source Characteristics for Pollution Tests

This work is about a digital-computer simulation of the interaction between an artificially polluted insulator and a high-voltage alternating-current (AC) source configuration. In order to study the influence of source parameters on pollution performance, detail experiments were conducted and voltage drop for various conditions were determined. Simultaneously simulation of sources were carried out using P-Spice. The results of both experiments and simulation are given in this paper.
