  • Abstract
    In this paper a boundary element field simulation package was used to investigate the electric fields surrounding energised polymeric insulators. Clean and polluted insulators and the effect of dry bands were considered. The high stress regions were Identified and related to field observations, including water drop corona and dry band arcing.
