The paper deals with the surface discharge characteristics for porcelain suspension insulators. The micro-crystals were crystallized on the surface of glace coated on the porcelain These micro-crystals may affect the electrical Properties such as flashover voltage. However. not much research have been conducted. In this study. we correlated the surface discharge characteristics to the microstructures. It was confirmed that the micro-crystals on the glaze initiated the flashover when the surface was wetted and/or contaminated.
