Effect of Ultra Violet on Dry Band Arcing Behavior of EPDM Outdoor Insulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on studying the improvement in the performance of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) which is used as outdoor high voltage insulating material by adding ATH filler. The study undertakes an investigation of the dry band arcing characteristics of the composite under un – aging condition. Also the dry band arcing characteristics of the composite have been studied under the aging condition by the exposure to Ultra Violet (UV) radiation. Tensile strength measurements are demonstrated to detect the mechanical endurance of the mixture at different composition. Investigations show that the dry band arcing characteristics of the mixture improved by an increase in the ATH filler content until (60%). Also the investigation reveals that the mechanical endurance of the mixture improved by an increase of the ATH content until

متن کاملPerformance of Thermoplastic Elastomeric and Thermoset Insulators under Accelerated Acid Rain Multistress Conditions
Polymers are becoming the material of choice for high voltage outdoor insulators. However being mostly organic, they are susceptible to aging and degradation (weathering) due to environmental (and electrical) stresses. This necessitates the study of their long-term behavior. It is desirable to study the long-term performance of the insulators in the service environment under multistress conditi...

The goal of the present study is to prepare a room temperature cured hydrophobic and self-cleaning nano-coating for power line insulators. As a result, the installed insulators operating in power lines can be coated without being removed from the circuit and without the need to cut off power. For this purpose, hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method using TEOS and HM...
