Design and analysis of grading high plate type spacer in a single phase gas insulated busduct for reduction of electric field stress

Spacers are a key component of the gas-insulated structures. Most dielectric instances intensity collapses and ground flashover are attributed to distinguish the failures of spacer. Such Failures are due to non-uniformity distribution of electric field around the top of the spacer and high field tension at triple junctions. For a better electric field distribution, precise structure simulation of the spacers is important as it improves the component’s existence. Rare pressure management results in problems such as moulding and manufacturing by shape modeling. In this paper, a graded high FGM insulating spacer is designed for a Single phase GIS for reduction of electric field stress. Stress in the electrical field for different values of high grading the FGM material is measured and the insertion of metal inserts is used to reduce the electrical field pressure.
