Mechanical Fracture Characteristic of Epoxy Insulation Barrier for High Voltage GIS
Wang Byuck Suh
J Electr Electron Mater 2017;30(10):641-645.   Published online October 1, 2017
In this study, an epoxy insulation barrier for high voltage GIS was developed using epoxy and a filler with a Young`s modulus of 11 GPa. The material was investigated using a simulation of the principal stress, displacement, and safety factors while optimizing the profile shape. The simulation showed that thelarger Young`s modulus of the Al2O3 filler compared to the SiO2 in the epoxy insulation can contribute to an increase in resistance to mechanical fracturing for theoptimized profile barrier in high voltage GIS. In addition, the safety factor was improved by 10%. It can be concluded that the mechanical fracturing properties of the insulation barrier can be enhanced by increasing the content of the elastic filler, Al2O3, for high voltage GIS applications.
