Electric Field and Potential Distribution of Porcelain Insulator using FEM Method

Abstract

The porcelain insulators are investigated with the high voltage transmission line in outdoor condition. The MATLAB finite element simulation are used here to test the performance of the porcelain. The PDE software is helpful in modelling the porcelain insulator in two dimensional. The pollution layer in the porcelain assumed to be uniform. The simulation demonstrates the electric field and potential distribution in the porcelain insulator. The porcelain insulators have higher field distribution near to the high voltage line. The results are represented as graphs. The MATLAB 2017b comes with preinstalled PDE tool. In this paper the PDE tool is used for the results and analysis.
