Abstract :
Techniques used in modeling the electric field (E-field) along an insulator can greatly vary between modelers. This panel session paper will present the challenges faced when multiple modelers attempt model the same transmission line configuration. These challenges also make it difficult to accurately determine the need for a grading ring.
