Balance between test result and analysis for medium voltage system

This paper describes the comparative study and establishes the relationship between experimental test results and finite element method (FEM) analysis results for the medium voltage air insulated system. A specific lightning impulse voltage has been chosen for this study as per the preliminary test results. An experimental test setup has been designed and manufactured for the test. And an electrostatic 2D analysis has been done on the experimental setup by using commercially available FEM- Flux software. The analysis results are compared with the real laboratory test results.
