The following points may be noted regarding the poten al
insulator book distribu on over a string of suspension insulators:
1. Due to the presence of shunt capacitor, the voltage across the

insulator buyer
suspension insulators does not distribute itself uniformly across the
each disc.
insulator china 2. The voltage across the nearest disc to the conductor is maximum
than others disc.
3. The unit nearest to the conductor is under maximum electrical
stress and is likely to be punctured.
4. In the case of D.C voltage, the voltage across each unit would be
the same. It is because insulator capacitance are ineffective for
D.C.
Stringing Efficiency:
The Ra o of the voltage across the whole string to the product of
numbers of discs and the voltage across the disc nearest to the
conductor is known as string efficiency.
String efficiency is important for the overhead transmission line. The

greater the string efficiency, the more uniform is the voltage
distribu on in the each disc insulator. In the ideal case, the value of
string efficiency will be 100%, but, in a normal case, it is impossible
to achieve 100% string efficiency, yet effort should be made to
improve it as close to this value as possible.
Mathematical expression:
Fig. shows the equivalent circuit for a 3-disc string. Let us suppose
that self-capacitance of each disc is C1 , Let us further assume that
shut capacitance C1 is some frac on K of self –capacitance i.e., C1
=KC. Star ng from the cross –arm or tower , the voltage across unit
is V1 , V2 , V3 respec vely as shown.
Applying Kirchhoff’s current law to node A, we get ,

I2 =I1 + i1
Or, V2ωC = V1ωC + V1ωC1
Or, V2ωC = V1ωC + V1ωKC
V2=V1(1+K).................(i)
Applying Kirchhoff’s current law to node B, we get ,

I3 = I2 + i2
Or V3ωC = V2ωC +(V1+V2) ωC1
Or V3ωC = V2ωC +(V1+V2) ωKC
Or V3=V2+(V1+V2) K
=KV1+V2(1+K)
=KV1+V1(1+K)2
=V1[K+(1+K)2]
V3=V1[1+3K+K2].................(ii)
Voltage between conductor and earth ( i,e., tower)

V = V1 + V2 + V3
=V1+V1(1+K)+V1(1+3K+K2)
=V1(3+4K+K2)
.................(iii)
Voltage across second unit from top , V2 = V1 (1 +K)
Voltage across third unit from top, V3= V1( 1 +3K + K2)
The following points may be noted from the above mathema cal
analysis:
If K=0.2 (Say) , then we get , V2 = 1.2 V1, and V3 = 1.64 V1. This
clearly shows that disc nearest to the conductor has maximum voltage
across it, the voltage across other discs decreasing progressively as the
cross arm in approached.
The greater the value of K, (= C1/C), the more non-uniform is the
voltage across the discs and lesser the value of string efficiency.
The unequally in voltage distribution increase with the increase of
numbers of discs. Hence, the shorter string has more efficiency than the
larger one.
