<p>The use of uni-body composite cross-arm in a fully composite-based pylon is a new concept for the next generation of overhead transmission lines. The crossarm is stressed by phase-to-phase voltages except in two regions, which are stressed by phase-to-ground voltages caused by installation of shield wires. Due to a major difference between the novel cross-arm structure and traditional composite cross-arms, the electric field distribution in the uni-body composite cross-arm is of considerable interest. This paper presents and analyses the electric field distribution around and inside the hollow core uni-body cross-arm through which ground cable passes to connect the shield wires. Two different shed profiles are considered on the cross-arm and evaluated based on the guidelines of IEC 60815-3. </p><p>The 2D geometry of pylon is modeled in ANSYS Finite Element Analysis package. The electric field and potential distribution along the pylon is graphically depicted and the effectiveness of assigned shed profiles in controlling the power frequency stresses are investigated in the areas with high field intensities.</p>

Using the finite element analysis, this work analyzed the electric field distribution of 220kV transmission steel tower with double-circuit and composite material transmission tower with the same size, and compared the electric field effect of two materials transmission tower for surroundings. And this work compared the vertical and axial electric field distribution along transmission line of the two materials transmission tower. The results indicate the composite material tower can improve the environment of electric field near the transmission lines.

Abstract Insulators are one of the important components of overhead transmission lines. Because of their excellent characteristics, insulators have obvious advantages in the selection of external insulation in UHV AC transmission projects. The potential distribution of insulator string is not even due to the shape characteristics of insulator string, the structure of metal tool, the low conductivity of silicon rubber material and the stray capacitance between insulator string and wire, iron tower and metal tool. When the surface field intensity of insulators and fittings exceeds the initial field intensity, corona discharge will occur, which will affect the electromagnetic environment and the operation characteristics of insulating materials. Therefore, it is of great significance to determine the potential distribution of insulator strings of UHV transmission lines for detecting low and zero value insulators, implementing voltage equalization measures effectively, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of transmission lines. Based on Ansys software of 500kv transmission line insulator string, this paper establishes a three-dimensional model, the method of using finite element numerical simulation respectively with no equalizing ring and equalizing ring in both cases the umbrella skirt on simulation, the distribution of electric field along the roots, and further studies the equalizing ring the effect of different parameters on the electric field distribution. Finally, an optimal solution is established.

±1000kV DC wall bushing under planning is a complex insulation system which bears the effects imposed by different working conditions. The electric field distribution is concentrated at the bushing outlet terminal, which might result in breakdown discharge especially when short-time abrupt conditions such as polarity reversal occur. In this paper, the finite element method is utilized to analyze electric field distribution and potential distribution of wall bushing during polarity reversal. Electric field distribution and potential distribution at the moment of polarity reversal are obtained, which provides value reference for the study of polarity reversal process.

The low productivity of conventional single-needle electrospinning inhibits the application of nanofibers to a commercial level. In order to improve the productivity of the electrospinning technique, a terraced spinneret has been designed based on the finite element analysis in this paper. The electric field distribution was modeled with the use of Ansoft Maxwell software. The experiment results demonstrated this special design spinneret has the potential to produce smooth nanofibers on a large scale.
