| Summary: | One of the defining factors of the quality of an electrical power system is the ability
of the said system to continuously supply power starting from the generation up to
distribution system. Insulator’s performance will degrade as time passes by, this is
caused by a lot of things ranged from mechanical strain, thermal strain, or outside
factors such as UV lights and pollutant. In order to keep the quality of a power
system in a good state, a performance study of insulator needs to be done.
The sample used in this study is a virgin insulator and two insulators taken from
Gombong-Rawalo-Kesugihan line. Quality diagnostics of insulators used in this
study are visual inspection, hidrophobicity class test, surface resistance measuring,
and leakage current test. Samples are polluted using fly ashes and bottom ashes
from PLTU Adipala and seawater from Teluk Penyu. From visual inspection can be
seen that virgin insulator have cleaner visual compared to the sample insulators
that have a flashover track, after pollutants are given it is shown that there will be
accumulation of contaminant at the insulators surfaces. Hydrophobicity class test
of the insulators result shows that the virgin insulator has same hydrophobicity
class as the sample insulators, after pollutants are given it is shown that the
hydrophobicity class of all insulators worsen. Surface resistance test shows that the
value of the virgin insulator is the highest while the others insulators are about the
same, after given the pollutant the surface resistance value of all insulators drop
but the virgin insulator has higher drop compared to the other insulators. Leakage
current measurement shows that the cross product of the virgin insulator is higher
than the sample insulators, after pollutants are given it is shown that all cross
products rose but the virgin insulator’s stay the highest. |
