Flashover at gas/insulator interface acts as a vital challenge to the safe and stable operation of gas-insulated system especially when involved with surface metallic particle. In this paper, flashover characteristics at SF<sub>6</sub>/epoxy insulator interface were investigated concerning on the tracking property based on image analysis. DC flashover experiments were operated for basin-type spacer with metallic particle at various locations. Flashover voltage was obtained and tracking on the surface after successive flashover was captured. Improved image analysis method based on fractal theory was carried out to evaluate tracking pattern quantitatively. The relation between the fractal dimension of tracking and field distribution at particle tip was revealed. Obtained results showed that flashover voltage decreased due to severe field distortion with moving particle from ground to HV electrode. Meanwhile, fractal dimension of tracking covering the area from particle to ground electrode indicated centralized tendency. Simulation result confirmed this variation as the consequence of centralized field distribution at the tip of particle. The quantitative relation between fractal dimension and field distribution suggests new sight to estimate the influence of metallic particle on insulation property in the gas-insulated system.
