Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the dc flashover characteristics of rod gaps, line to tower air gaps, and suspension insulator assemblies. Direct current flashover for test voltages to 725 kV has been shown to be a linear function of specimen length for either polarity or for either wet or dry test conditions. Comparative data are presented for dc, ac, and switching surge test voltages. Discussions are included.
