An insulator gets contaminated under wet and polluted conditions which are reported in coastal environments
and in industrial areas. Polymer insulator is a type of insulator which features good hydrophobicity and adhesive property to
improve or maintain the flashover voltage. The disadvantage of polymer insulator is that it is costlier compare to other
insulating material. This disadvantage can be overcome by using silicon rubber with fillers like ATH, Silica, Silicate,
Alumina etc. The work proposed is to compare electrical characteristics of different Polymer insulator filled with different
fillers using ANSYS simulation software and Matlab.
