ABSTRACT
The knowledge of the distribution of the electric field within and around high voltage equipment is a crucial aspect of the design, exploitation and performance of high voltage insulators. It could be useful for the detection of defects in insulators. The objective of this study is predicting the behaviour of polluted insulator under AC voltage. For thus, the distribution of the potential and the electric field along high voltage insulator is investigated using a numerical method. The commercial Comsol Multiphysics proved to be one of the best software used in 2D modeling. The potential and the electric field distributions along this insulator are simulated under various conditions: the two cases: clean and polluted insulators and applying different conductivity values. We used electrostatic 2D simulations in the AC/DC module. The results are auspicious and promising.
