Polluted insulators are easy to discharge or even flashover when the surface is wet to a certain extent, which seriously threatens the safety and stability of power grid. In this paper, in view of three kinds of common insoluble contaminates SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, we conducted water absorption tests and insulator flashover tests under different environmental humidity, and the influence of environment humidity on the water absorption and flashover properties of insulators polluted with typical insoluble contaminates were analyzed. The results show that the SiO2 has the best water absorption property, the Al2O3 is followed, and the Fe2O3 has extremely weak water absorption property or cannot absorb water absolutely. The moisture absorption rate and saturated moisture content of SiO2 and Al2O3 tend to increase with the increase of environment humidity. In the situation of saturated humidity, the surface contamination of insulators polluted by SiO2 and Al2O3 may be washed away with the dripping process of liquid droplets. The pollution flashover voltage gradient of insulators decreases with the increase of environmental humidity, and this phenomenon is more obvious in low humidity.
