Investigations of ageing mechanism and electrical withstand performances of the field aged 132 kV PMU Skudai's ceramic post insulator

This thesis presents investigation of 132kV field-aged ceramic post insulator, which has been in service 15 years old on a 132kV in PMU Skudai substation. Insulators are devices which are used in electricity supply networks to support, separate or contain conductors at high voltage. Aging of cera...
