What's the difference between DC insulation and
Puncture of an Insulator means it's permanent failure. Puncture is little bit longer AC insulation for 50 Hz at high voltages say 500
process than flashover. Actually if there is moisture ingress or small void formation in kV?
the insulating medium, small leakage current will flow and this for longer time may
result in permanent damage to the insulating material, this is puncture of Insulator. All insulators are not dielectrics. Why?

But if there is direct short circuit to earth or ground from live conductor then that will Ask Question · More Related Questions
result in instant flashover of insulator. Insulators are generally designed to withstand
flashover without damage to insulator but it's insulating property will fall.
