Abstract

Electrical Insulation Is A Significant Component In All Electrical Systems. It Is Really Important In Parliamentary Procedure To Maintain The Functioning And The Refuge Of The Electrical Appliances And Creature. The Demands For Polymer Insulator Are Much Higher And Have Become A Replacement For All Traditional Insulators Such As Porcelain, Glass, And Ceramics. Due To Its Advantage In The Ratio Of Strength-To-Weight Is Better Than The Other Insulator, It Has Attracted Lots Of Users To Use Polymer Insulator As To Reduce Cost On Insulator Installations. Glass Insulator Has Been Widely Used In High Voltage Engineering Such As In Distribution System. The Utilization Of Glass/ Ceramic Insulators On The Electrical Energy Transmission System Which Tend To Accept Higher Voltage Are No Longer Profitable Because The Glass/Ceramics Density Is Great, Long, Fragile And Losses. However, Pages Still Have The Ability Better Than Other Polymer Insulation Because It Is Not Eroded. The Purpose Of The Study Is To Investigate The Leakage Current Patterns For Classification Of Glass, Polypropylene And High Density Polyethylene Surface Degradation. The Test Follows The Standard Of BS EN 60587:2007 As A Guideline To Conduct The Incline Plane Tracking (IPT) Test. The Test Is Conducted To Determine The Pattern And Value Of Leakage Current Of The Glass, Polypropylene And High Density Polyethylene. The Patterns Of Leakage Current Can Be Classified Into 4 Phases Which Are Capacitive, Resistive, Symmetrical And Unsymmetrical. As A Result, The Pattern And Value Of Leakage Current For Each Of The Insulation Materials Used Can Be Seen. From The Study, Glass Is Proven To Be A Good Material For Insulation Compare To Polypropylene And High Density Polyethylene.
