Abstract

Aluminum conductor have been used worldwide as the primary conductive materials for high voltage electrical transmission lines. The partial discharge behavior of the aluminum conductor have been obeserved during operation due to the transmission line's performance to serve electricity. The partial discharge of aluminum alloy coated by polyurethane/organoclay (PClay) composite material was studied. PClay composites were prepared by adding organoclay with different content in polyurethane as a matrix then coated on an aluminum conductor sample. A partial discharge test was conducted to obtain the behavior of partial discharge versus voltage. It was found that an escalation of organoclay content in the polyurethane reduce partial discharge appears.
