Using Properties of Dielectric Materials to Improve Effectiveness of Electrical Insulation in Power Equipment

According to the perspective of dielectric materials, research and development outcomes It is described how to improve the electrical insulation's performance for a larger electric field use in power transmission/substation equipment such transformers, switchgears, and cables. First, the electric field analysis, field optimization, and field measurement techniques are discussed in order to investigate more extensive applications of electric field stress in power equipment. In order to create power equipment with stronger insulating performance, reduced losses, a smaller environmental effect, and improved dependability, material types like gases, liquids, and solids and vacuum are studied. A very innovative new technique was created during the development process and put to use to explain the physical mechanics of partial discharges. By utilizing and introducing the aforementioned innovative electrical insulating methods With dielectric materials, future power equipment with a greater electric field stress is envisioned. The 2011 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP) held in Cancun, Mexico served as the venue for the Whitehead Memorial Lecture. inspiration for this essay.
