Abstract: In Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) of BHEL make, the Dielectric clearance of phase to earth is maintained by filling SF6 Gas at rated pressure between the Enclosure & the HV components. In order to maintain the position of all HV components for proper dielectric clearances Barriers are used. These barriers not only provides the support but also maintains dielectric zone but also leads to provide the cushioning affect during the assembly of various modules. Purpose of an insulator is to prevent the unwanted flow of current from the energized conductor or conducting parts. Electrical insulation plays a vital role in every electrical system as it is concerned with the safety of Human. An electrical insulator provides very high resistance so that practically no current can flow through it. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the behaviour of barrier manufactured through hybrid material. Finite element analysis method is used to carry out the research work to validate the mechanical strength. To perform finite element analysis, ANSYS Mechanical is used. Failure criteria adopted is Maximum Stress theory. First, results of this work are validated through FEM and then final prototypes will be manufactured to evaluate the electric behaviour of the new Barrier.
