Abstract

Epoxy resin, which has a number of benefits, is one of the insulating polymers used in high voltage air insulation materials. However, environmental pollution has caused a degradation of the surface. Epoxy resin polymer isolation was the material utilized in this study, along with comparison values for material DGEBA: MPDA at a ratio of 1:1, increased filler, vinyl silane combined as a coupling agent, and PE as a composite material compatibilizer. Vacuum also done to eliminate void in the substance. The research was performed in the laboratory based on the IEC 587 standard, 1984. High-voltage AC generators running at 3.5 kV were connected to high-voltage electrodes. An oscilloscope was connected to the ground electrode to measure the leakage current. The analysis was performed to assess the effect of the variation. The research finds that the composite is hydrophobic and partially wetted. More concentration on filler, causing an increase in the contact angle, delays the aging process on the surface of the insulator. Optimal performance of the filler is obtained when the concentration is 40%.
