Abstract
Insulators are one of the important components in electrical transmission system. There are various types of insulators based on their dielectric materials. Among them ceramic materials are popular and they are using since so many decades. The main drawback of these insulators is they cannot give better performance under severe polluted conditions. Now a day's severity of pollution is increasing in the atmosphere day by day. These severe pollutions will increase the electrical stresses on the insulator surface and degrade the dielectric material. Due to this flashover will occur rapidly. It will affect the reliability of power system. This problem will be minimized by providing RTV silicone (Room Temperature Vulcanizing Silicone) coating on the insulator surface. Due to its higher withstanding capability under pollutions electrical stresses on the insulator will be less. In this paper, Electric Field Intensity (EFI) is analyzed for 400kV ceramic insulators by numerical method. EFI results proved that insulator with RTV coating has very less electrical stresses.
