Abstract
- Polymeric high voltage (HV) insulators are replacing ceramic insulator
commonly used for HV outdoor networks. Their long term performance and
reliability are major concerns to power utilities. To investigate their
degradation under of thermo-electric stresses and ultraviolet (UV) radiations
etc. due to arid desert's simulated environmental conditions, high voltage
composite insulators were subjected under accelerated aging condition. This
paper describes the experimental results of these tests under two different
types of aging conditions. The results will help in assessing the performance
and suitability of polymeric insulators for their applications in arid deserts
environments. |
