Abstract
Research presented in this paper analyzes the accuracy and applicability of analytical expressions to describe the electric field of a high-voltage glass insulator. The metal cap and the metal pin of the glass insulator are represented by coaxial cylindrical electrodes. The insulating materials between them are modeled as coaxial hollow cylinders. Analytical expressions for the electric field in these insulating materials are derived. Using these expressions, the spatial distribution of the electric field in the insulating materials was determined. Suitable software, based on the finite element method (FEM), was used to determine the spatial distribution of the electric field in dielectrics in the same space. Both analyses were performed under quasi-static conditions, and the results of the analytical expressions were compared with the FEM results. Discrepancies between the results of the two mentioned analyses were observed. The reasons for the observed discrepancies and the applicability of the presented analytical expressions are commented on.
