Insulator design
Electric field strength and potential distribution, leakage current and dielectric loss, temperature rise assessment, and structural stress analysis of insulators.
Available Analysis Modules
QuickField can be applied to many aspects of insulator design:
Electrostatics
Electric field strength and potential distribution.
AC Conduction, DC Conduction
Active and reactive leakage current distribution; dielectric loss factor and resistive loss calculation.
Heat Transfer (coupled with DC/AC Conduction)
Temperature distribution, assessing local overheating.
Stress Analysis (coupled with electric field analysis)
Stress and strain distribution inside the insulator.
