Mapeamento de campo elétrico em isoladores poliméricos.

Abstract

This study aimed to carry out a mapping of temperature in 15 kV polymeric insulators, used in distribution power systems. The insulator in ideal conditions was simulated, as well as a situation with internal voids with different levels of discharges. The software AutoCAD® was used to make the insulators graphical models, and the Comsol Multiphysics® software, allowing the estimation of termical quantities. The simulations were based on the finite element method.
