Abstract

This project is conducted to investigate the effect of surface tracking and erosion performance of polymeric insulation material under different frequency behaviour in term of their ageing factor by using an inclined plane test. Although this polymeric insulation has been used for many years, the limitation of this type of insulation material is ageing where their lifetime performance is the main problems. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different frequency behaviour on the polymeric insulation material by complying BS EN60587 which the international standard for tracking and erosion.Polymeric material is hydrophobic type where it is water repellent compare than glass ceramic which is a type of hydrophilic. This project has been conducted by constructing the inclined plane test (IPT) to evaluate the resistance of surface tracking and erosion performance under different frequency. Some of IPT advantages is IPT is fast, good educational tool, require close attention and the cheapest among the other test procedure. The method including of development the LabVIEW software circuit, inject the fixed power supply which is 3.5 kV and the varying the frequency where the frequency is changed from 50 Hz to 1 kHz.Data were recorded and analyse between all the specimens to study the effect of surface tracking and erosion performance of polymeric insulation under different frequency.
