This paper presents a useful model to determine the washing periods and to indicate the pollution levels of electrical insulators. The behavior of leakage current, which is one indicator of the presence of pollutants on the insulator surfaces, was characterized through a regression model. We quantitatively examine the behavior of leakage current and the way electrical components are polluted. The data for environmental variables and leakage current in an electrical substation are analyzed and a model is identified that well represents the leakage current behavior on the insulators. Through this model, some predictions of the pollution effect can be made using analysis tools that enable the identification of the effects of leakage current on the entire network. This method can be used to obtain leakage current models on electrical substations located in highly polluted zones.
Este documento presenta un modelo útil para determinar los períodos de lavado e indicar los niveles de contaminación de aisladores eléctricos. El comportamiento de la corriente de fuga, como indicador de la presencia de contaminantes en las superficies de los aisladores, se caracterizó a través de un modelo de regresión. Se examina cuantitativamente el comportamiento de la corriente de fuga y la contaminación de los componentes eléctricos. Se analizan los datos de las variables ambientales y la corriente de fuga en una subestación eléctrica y se identifica un modelo que representa bien el comportamiento de la corriente de fuga en los aisladores. Con este modelo, se pueden realizar predicciones del efecto de contaminación utilizando herramientas de análisis para identificar los efectos de la corriente de fuga en toda la red. Este método se puede usar para obtener modelos de corriente de fuga en subestaciones eléctricas ubicadas en zonas altamente contaminadas.
