Centers load in generally is located quite far from the

center of power plants. Transmission line is needed to

channel the energy. Pada saluran transmisi hantaran
udara untuk menyalurkan tenaga listrik digunakan kawat
penghantar yang cara peletakkanya digantung pada
menara transmisi dengan perantaraan suatu isolator
rantai. In the open space, chains insulator is used in
transmission line so the chain insulators is influenced by
climate or weather that surrounds. Plate insulator is
consisted by chains insulator that consist in series type
and adhesive material is binds the metal clip with a
dielectric material so the composed same as well as the
capacitor.
The level of strains distribution on chain insulator
that caused because by wetting will be determined in this
study. Voltage distribution on chain insulator is affected
the performance of the insulator chain, especially chain
insulator is closest to the wire conductor. Then the second
analysis is to determine the level of leakage current on
insulator chain because of the influence of wetting.
Leakage current flowing in the insulator chain effect on
the onset of the dry tape will eventually bridge the
occurrence of flashover (sparks).
