The polluted insulators problem is one of the most important cases, that faces the electrical networks especially in Syrian Arab Republic because the sources of pollution expand more and more, On the other side, the electrical power supply is related
to the operation of all commercial and daily sectors.
The environmental pollution on the insulators generally causes general breakdowns in the electrical power supply networks of wide areas, This makes great economical losses in all sectors that are related to electrical network.
In this research, the distinct values of insulators pollutions are defined. We then find the relationship between the mentioned values and flashover voltage of polluted insulators in the laboratory. The results of the tests apply on the natural polluted insulators in the outsides. Finally, comparison measurements are made on naturally polluted insulators, and the appropriated procedures to limit the pollution effects .
The use of cross-linking polyethylene was increased, especially for the
medium & high voltage electrical cables instead of paper and oil insulating
materials. The radiated low density polyethylene is the best technique in the
process of cross-link
ing instead of chemical method.
The purpose of this study is to find the relation between mechanical
properties of polyethylene samples and the dose rate of irradiation to cross –
link the polyethylene materials and to get the best properties.
This paper illustrates also the important results, that we have obtained in
this study.
