Numerical calculation of insulator voltages in transmitting antennas comparison with measurement

Numerical techniques can be used to calculate transmitting insulator voltages to engineering accuracy. However, using point capacitor loads to model insulators leads to a systematic error resulting in too little voltage predicted for insulators with higher voltages and too much voltage predicted for insulators with lower voltages. The difference is especially significant when insulators are not separated. Refinement of the numerical technique to model the extra capacitance due to the insulator ends is likely to help alleviate this systematic error and provide increased accuracy
