Application of polymeric materials used for housing insulators is considered. However, because polymeric insulator is organic matter, the aged deterioration is anxious. The lifetime of polymeric insulator is influenced by environmental conditions such as ultraviolet, acid rain, and polluted deposits. A change of the surface condition of polymeric material causes the dry band arc discharge and the discharge may lower the insulation strength. To investigate the relationship between insoluble pollution and occurrence of dry band arc discharge, we performed a salt-fog test with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) samples. The results showed that the heavy erosion caused by frequent dry band arc discharges occurred even in the case of a light polluted condition. Additionally, a very characteristic increase tendency in leakage current with a period of about 5 h was observed during the mist period.
