Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / UHVDC equipment
English term or phrase: flash distance
Insulation of the Equipment
One important factor for designing UHVDC equipment is adequate external insulation, this means to take care of proper clearances and creepage distances of the equipment housings. Required flash distances determine the axial length of the equipment. For UHVDC equipment the nonlinear behavior of the flashover phenomenon for large switching impulse levels will become the dimensioning factor for the flash distance.
