RAMIREZ, Juan et al. Calculation of Voltage Distribution along the Insulator Strings of a 500 kV Transmission Line Based on Finite Element Method. []. , 11, 3, pp.1-14. ISSN 1390-6542.  https://doi.org/10.29019/enfoque.v11n3.619.

This paper presents the voltage distributions along the insulator strings of a 500 kV overhead transmission line of Ecuador. The electrostatic problem related to the voltage distribution was solved using the Finite Element Method. A 1: 1 scale drawing is done on a CAD type drawing tool and then exported to the FEMM program that solves the problem and the results related to the voltages in the insulator string are obtained. The voltage differences in the different insulators that constitute a string are appreciated and the difference between the strings determined by the geometric location in the solution space is observed
