Analisis Distribusi Medan Listrik pada Isolator Gantung Jenis Polimer akibat Pengaruh Kontaminan

Abstract

The paper investigates the electric field distribution in polymer suspension insulator when exposed to contaminants. The analyzed suspension insulator has glass core and will be simulated using FEM (Finite Element Method) software. Contaminant used is sea water. Simulations carried out by comparing the condition of the electric field on the surface of the insulator which is contaminated by seawater with normal conditions. In addition, the influence of the contact angle on the characteristics of the electric field distribution in insulators will also be analyzed. Therefore, the shape of contaminants are varied by considering the contact angle Then, to determine the deeper influence of contaminant, the analysis is carried out in three different places, which is the core part, the surface of the insulator and the fin closest to the working voltage insulator. From the conducted analysis, it is known that the contaminants are not much affected the electric field distribution at the core, but became very influential in the distribution of the electric field at the surface of the insulator and the fin closest to the working voltage insulator. Furthermore, the contact angle of contaminants affects the characteristics of the distribution of the electric field significantly.
