“…In addition to such mechanisms, measurement results of other material characteristics relevant to surface tracking are explored in the following sections to gain comprehensive insights on the effect of nano-sized ATH particles on SiR nanocomposites. improvement would exist in ATH/SiR nanocomposites, similar to other polymeric composites [17,29]. It is also worth noting that the tracking resistance performance of the SiR nanocomposite with 3 wt % is higher than that of the SiR microcomposite with 10 wt %.…”

“…Compared to the increment of tracking time observed when the filler loading was increased from 3 wt % to 5 wt % or from 5 wt % to 10 wt %, a rather limited increment of tracking time was observed when the loading increased from 10 wt % to 20 wt %. In fact, such a decreasing trend in effectiveness at higher filler concentrations would imply that an optimal level of filler loadings for performance improvement would exist in ATH/SiR nanocomposites, similar to other polymeric composites [17,29].…”

“…Such a trend was also found for thermally aged specimens. The effect of nano-sized alumina and titanium dioxides on the tracking resistance of polymeric blend materials was also studied [17]. It was found that the optimal filler concentration value is different depending on the filler type.…”

Effect of Filler Concentration on Tracking Resistance of ATH-Filled Silicone Rubber Nanocomposites

It is necessary for polymeric materials to have superior tracking resistance against various stress conditions for outdoor applications. In this study, the effect of nano-sized alumina tri-hydrate (ATH) particles on the tracking resistance of silicone rubber (SiR) is studied. Specimens with filler loadings of 1, 3, 5, 10, and 20 wt % are used for performance characterization. From the inclined plane test (IPT) results, apparent improvement in tracking resistance was achieved by mixing 3 wt % of nano-sized fillers, compared to unfilled specimens. ATH/SiR nanocomposites with 5 wt % loading showed comparable tracking performance to SiO2/SiR microcomposites with 20 wt % loading. For detailed analysis, measurements of surface contact angle (SCA) and surface leakage current, and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) were performed. As the nano-ATH filler concentration increased, both thermal stability and leakage current characteristics were improved. Such results agreed with the tracking resistance performance by showing that thermal decomposition and surface charge transport is inhibited in ATH/SiR nanocomposites. Furthermore, performance improvement in nanocomposites was achieved, even at low filler loadings, compared to microcomposites. Meanwhile, the change in SCA was found to be rather limited, regardless of filler loading and filler size.

“…This process may have reduced the evaporation of liquid contamination on the surface of the nanocomposites. Therefore, it is highly likely that less evaporation on the surface of nanocomposites would reduce DBA activity and suppress discharge quantity [20]. On the other hand, less thermal conduction may enhance evaporation and increase DBA activity.…”

“…Rajini [19] reported improved tracking and arc resistance performance in an EPDM/PDMS blend by exposing it to e-beam irradiation. Most recently, Fairus [20] explored the tracking performance of an EPDM/PDMS blend that contained nano Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 particles. It was reported that the blend with nano additives performed well in the IPT and the 3 vol % of TiO 2 performed equivalent to the 1 vol % of Al 2 O 3 .…”

Simulation and Experimental Investigation on Carbonized Tracking Failure of EPDM/BN-Based Electrical Insulation

et al. 2020

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is broadly employed as an insulating material for high voltage applications. Surface discharge-induced thermal depolymerization and carbon tracking adversely affect its performance. This work reports the electrical field modeling, carbon tracking lifetime, infrared thermal distribution, and leakage current development on EPDM-based insulation with the addition of nano-BN (boron nitride) contents. Melt mixing and compression molding techniques were used for the fabrication of nanocomposites. An electrical tracking resistance test was carried out as per IEC-60587. Simulation results show that contamination significantly distorted the electrical field distribution and induced dry band arcing. Experimental results indicate that electric field stress was noticed significantly higher at the intersection of insulation and edges of the area of contamination. Moreover, the field substantially intensified with the increasing voltage levels. Experimental results show improved carbonized tracking lifetime with the addition of nano-BN contents. Furthermore, surface temperature was reduced in the critical contamination flow path. The third harmonic component in the leakage current declined with the increase of the nano-BN contents. It is concluded that addition of nano-BN imparts a better tracking failure time, and this is attributed to better thermal conductivity and thermal stability, as well as an improved shielding effect to electrical discharges on the surface of nanocomposite insulators.
