Question

The ratio of the puncture voltage to the flashover voltage of an insulator is 

A.

equal to one 

B.

lower than one 

C.

zero 

D.

greater than one

Answer ( Option D)

greater than one

Solution

Flash over voltage : The voltage at which the air around the insulator breaks down and flash over takes 'ace shorting the insulator is called flash over voltage.

Puncture voltage : The voltage at which the insulator breaks down and current flows through the inside of insulator is called puncture voltage.

Puncture voltage is more serious than flashover voltage.

Safety factor 

Hence, the correct option is (D).
