Nano-Tech OHTL Insulators

Abstract

This chapter detects types and structure of ceramic and polymeric insulators. It also sheds light on improving efficiency and high voltage distribution through insulators string toward utilizing nanotechnology techniques. Furthermore, this chapter takes interest in displaying the effects of nanoparticles on overhead transmission lines (OHTL) insulators and high voltage distribution on suspension insulators. The importance and features of using polymeric and non-ceramic suspension insulators have been recently detailed. Thus, this chapter tackles and designs recent models for using individual and multiple nanoparticles in polymeric OHTL suspension insulators. It draws forecasts and recommendations for developing suspension insulators by using nanotechnology techniques.
