Insulator design

The table below shows the QuickField packages that can be applied to the various aspects of insulator design. Click on an option to read more about each feature:

Option

Design field

Electrostatics

Electric field strength and voltage distribution.

AC Conduction, DC Conduction

Active and reactive leakage current distribution. Calculation of dissipation factor, resistive losses.

Heat transfer (coupled with DC/AC Conduction)

Temperature distribution, evaluation of local overheating

Stress analysis (coupled with electric problems)

Stress and strain distribution inside insulators.

See examples of insulator modeling: tetra-core cable insulation, slot insulation, insulation of concentric 3 phase cable, stress control tube for cable termination. .
