Dielectric loss quantifies the dielectric materials inherent dissipation of electric energy in electric power systems. This paper focuses on controlling in the dielectric loss behavior of the Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC); it has been widely used as insulators in electrical power systems and power devices. Nanocomposites specimens of polyvinyl chloride have been fabricated with variant concentrations of nanoparticles (Clay, SiO2, ZnO, and TiO2). The dielectric loss and electric properties of pure and nanocomposites specimens for polyvinyl chloride has been measured at different frequencies (10-2Hz- 103Hz) and temperatures (20°C-80°C). The dielectric loss of polyvinyl chloride nanocomposites has been minimized and controlled using certain types and concentrations of nanoparticles.
