Abstract
Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the degradation of dc line and station insulation strength by icing. Curves are presented which relate flashover levels to the degree of icing and the resistivity of the ice, and comparisons are made between the ice test results and fog chamber and wet test data.Keywords
