Abstract:Thanks to its light weight and anti-pollution flashover characteristic, High Temperature Vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber is now a main component of the housing and shed material of composite insulators, which are widely used in China in recent years. However, as a polymer material, the weathering resistance of composite insulators is an issue worthy of attention for degradation phenomena such as cracking, chalking, color fading etc. , were reported in many parts of China. In this paper, more than 30 composite… Show more
