Abstract

Polymer is an insulating substance that has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its benefits. Light density, superior dielectric and thermal properties, and water-resistant or hydrophobic properties are only a few of the benefits. The presence of impurities or pollutants on the insulator’s surface lowers its dielectric capacity, which can lead to current leakage. The influence of seawater and fly ash pollutants on the distribution of the electric field and the current density of the insulator was simulated in this study. The finite element method was used to execute the simulation (FEM). Polymer insulators are subjected to testing in order to gather current leakage statistics. The tested insulator is exposed to seawater pollution, which varies depending on the equivalent salt density deposit value ( ESDD ). The pollutant insulator for fly ash varies depending on the value of non-soluble deposit density ( NSDD ). The existence of a layer of pollutants increased the value of the electric field and the value of the surface current density, according to the findings. Both in simulation and testing, the ESDD value of seawater pollutants and the NSDD value of fly ash contaminants influenced the value of the leakage current that flowed. The greater the ESDD and NSDD values are, the bigger the leakage current will be.
