Abstract

Insulators are components that isolate between voltage components and other components. insulators are very important in the distribution of electrical energy. If the quality of the insulator is poor, it can cause interference with the power system. The quality of the insulator is determined by the standard value of insulation resistance, leakage current and contact angle. These values are influenced by environmental influences, one of which is rainfall. Therefore, the quality of the insulator needs to be improved so that it can work in wet conditions. The quality of the insulator can be improved by coating method. Coating is a technique of coating the insulator surface with a certain material. In this study, ceramic insulators were tested before coating, after coating nano ceramic and after coating silicone rubber. Ceramic insulators before coating and after coating are injected with voltages varying from 1 kV, 2.5 kV, 5 kV, 10 kV, and 15 kV in dry conditions and wet conditions. The result is to determine the insulation resistance and leakage current. Furthermore, the surface of each insulator will be dripped with rainwater to determine the contact angle value. The results showed that the insulation resistance value of dry conditions is greater than wet conditions while the leakage current of wet conditions is greater than dry conditions. The order of the best insulator quality based on the value of dry and wet condition insulation resistance is nano ceramic coating insulator, silicone rubber insulator, and non-coating insulator. The best insulator quality based on the value of leakage current in dry and wet conditions are nano ceramic insulators, silicone rubber insulators, and non-coating insulators. The best insulator quality based on contact angle is nano ceramic insulator (hydrophobic), silicone rubber (hydrophilic), and before coating (hydrophilic).
