Abstract

High-voltage insulators serve a crucial function in high-voltage electrical equipment. In order to have a good role as a dielectric for insulators, it needs to have good performance in electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Nanodielectrics have endless potential, making it crucial to conduct in-depth research on the interaction of electric field intensity with filler loading. By adding nano-filled elements, there is potential for improvement of dielectric characteristics in polymers. Using nanoscale filler in composite materials for nanodielectric frameworks, the addition of nanoparticles to the base polymer could influence the electrical properties of the materials. It shows that the tendency of materials to break down could be high due to a higher electric field. Therefore, the polymer nanocomposite upon different filler loading is modeled using Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM 4.2) software for this study. The effect of electric field distribution upon different filler loading particles was also determined. The electric field distribution of different filler-loading particles is investigated. This study uses four different filler loadings: 0.5 wt%, 1.5 wt%, 3.0 wt%, and 5.0 wt%. The polymers used were polyethylene (PE) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) as fillers. The outcome of this project is that different filler loadings, it shows that it could affect the electric field. It is observed from the result that the higher the filler loading, the higher the electric field intensity will be.
