Electrical insulation
Glass fiber sheets, rods and tubes insulating materials are used in the production of components that require good mechanical, chemical and electrical properties
They have besides good mechanical and electrical insulating properties, high climate resistance. It is used in production of components with good mechanical and electrical properties, for electrical equipment at higher temperatures or in humid environments, for stressed electrical insulating components, such as chassis, body equipment, housing parts of distribution boards, transformers, switchgears, electrical machines.
Characteristics of Fiberglass Electroisolant Materials
Electrical Insulation:
High Dielectric Strength: Fiberglass materials have high dielectric strength, making them effective insulators even under high voltage conditions.
Low Dielectric Constant and Loss: This ensures minimal energy loss during the operation of electrical systems.
Mechanical Properties:
High Tensile Strength: Fiberglass is known for its excellent tensile strength, which helps maintain structural integrity under mechanical stress.
Lightweight: Despite its strength, fiberglass is lightweight, which is advantageous in many applications.
Thermal Properties:
High Thermal Stability: Fiberglass can withstand high temperatures without degrading, making it suitable for use in environments with extreme thermal conditions.
Low Thermal Conductivity: This property helps in minimizing heat transfer, which is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of electrical systems.
Chemical Resistance:
Fiberglass materials are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids and alkalis, which ensures longevity and durability in various environments.
Moisture Resistance:
They have low water absorption, ensuring that their insulating properties are maintained even in humid or wet conditions.
