The Effect of Mechanical Stress and Surface Tracking of 22 kV Cable Spacer

Article Preview

Abstract:

Surface tracking is one of the causes that degraded the property of cable spacer. This research investigates about the mechanical stress and surface tracking performance of 22 kV cable spacer. Sample were tested according to the surface tracking under IEC 60587 standard under modified condition by and addition of the mechanical weight on the surface of pure epoxy resin sample. The mechanical load use were 0 kg and increase from 5 kg until 15 kg. The results showed that mechanical stress has affected the surface degradation of an insulation performance when the mechanical load is increased combined with high electrical field.
