Flashover
A flashover is an unintended electrical discharge (short circuit) around the insulator and typically leads to a line fault. Dry tephra has high resistivity but in the presence of moisture resistivity becomes very low (Wardman et al., 2012b). So when tephra is deposited on insulators, in the presence of moisture, a flashover may result.
