| Abstract: | The presence of water droplets on the surface of insulators provides intensification of the electric field, which are caused by the non-uniform voltage distribution and dielectric properties of the different materials. The degree of Electric field (E-field) intensification at the triple joint, the region where water, the non-ceramic dielectric and the air are in contact, must be carefully analyzed, because under certain conditions, breakdown voltages can be reached, sometimes, under very little or no contamination at all, which can cause the insulator wettability, tracking, flashover and degradation. In this paper, variations of the electrical field over two polymer compounds widely used in the insulator manufacturing industry, Silicone Rubber (SIR) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), are analyzed on a 2D geometry with respect to contact angles of constant volume water droplets. The Electrical field is also computed as a function of relative water droplets distances. |
