One of the important problem in medium and high voltage polymeric epoxy insulation is breakdown of the insulation due to partial discharge (PD), tracking or long term ageing effects. To overcome these problems and to improve the reliability of insulation, ERDA has developed epoxy nanocomposites with enhanced dielectric properties and improved thermal conductivity. ERDA carried out long term voltage endurance tests on the insulation which showed lower failure rates and enhanced endurance time.
