Definitions

  • the invention resides in the field of electrical insulation, in particular for medium and high voltage technology.
  • the invention relates to a shed for an electrical insulator. Further, the invention relates to an electrical insulator with a plurality of sheds.
  • Insulator shed design is influenced by the insulation material chosen, production technology, mounting of the insulator and the environment/pollution level to which the insulator will be exposed. A variety of shed designs are in use. IEC 60815-3 deals with the selection of insulators with polymer sheds to be used in high voltage AC (alternating current) systems and with respect of their behaviour under polluted conditions.
  • the invention aims at providing an improved shed design giving better characteristics for the shed and the insulator so equipped, in particular under polluted environmental condition.
  • a shed which has a tapered disk shape with an angle of less than or equal to 10°, and in particular of less than and equal to 6.5°, and has a curved free end shape.
  • a shed tip radius of greater than 0.1 mm, and in particular equal to or greater than 0.2 mm, but lower than 3mm, in particular less than 2 mm, preferably less than 1 mm
  • the minimized design exhibits a small to zero increase in electric field at the shed tip (in the dry state) in comparison to sheds and insulators known in the art.
  • the thin sheds perform well in moist and polluted environments.
  • the reduced shed angle and tip radius allow for the dripping of rain while leaving the underside of the shed dry; long pendant drops, which may lead to flashover, are not observed.
  • the shed thus formed adheres preferably to IEC 60815 recommendations.
  • the reduction in shed thickness compared to prior art sheds and insulators, respectively, allows for an increase in the openness of the structure, and a minimal collection of pollutants on the shed surfaces can be observed.
  • the claimed structure allows for rapid and easy drying after rain, and thus limited periods of dry band arcing occur.
  • the claimed structure shows diminished surface damage from arcing.
  • the claimed geometry is well suited for moulding or extrusion of sheds.
  • all sheds of the insulator are sheds according to the invention. In special situations, these sheds may be combined with prior art sheds.
  • the shape of the shed is symmetric to a horizontal plane for a vertical mounting situation of the insulator equipped with the shed.
  • a symmetric arrangement of the plurality of sheds on the insulator with regard to a central horizontal plane of the insulator (as well to be understood for a situation of vertical mounting of the insulator). This allows for upside down installation of the finished insulator without diminishing the performance of the insulation in wet or polluted environments.
  • the creepage distance of the shed and insulator is controlled, in particular, by adjusting the length of the tapered shed part.
  • Sheds according to the present invention can be provided on different types of insulators (including bushings) for medium to high voltages.
  • the term medium to high voltage is here to be understood broadly to include voltages in the range of kilovolts, or even less, up to megavolts and does not imply a certain fixed range.
  • the insulators can be of any construction.
  • the insulators are fibre glass core rod insulators, wherein a fibre glass core (full or hollow) is provided with silicon rubber sheds.
  • the sheds may be arranged on the core either as single, previously moulded sheds with a silicone housing, which sheds are fitted on the core, or the sheds and silicone housing may be moulded or extruded directly on the core.
  • the silicone housing should have a wall thickness between 0.2 mm and 15 mm.
  • LSR Liquid Silicone Rubber
  • HTV High Temperature Vulcanizing
  • the term “shed” may imply a rather cup-shaped insulator part as in some prior art designs, the term is here used differently and in a very broad sense as a term for the tapered disk-shaped elements of the present invention that are not cup-shaped.
  • the term “horizontal” and in particular “horizontal plane” used in this description has to be understood in view of a very common mounting situation of an insulator in which the longitudinal axis of the insulator lies in vertical direction (and the insulator is arranged standing or hanging) and a horizontal plane thus extends in a right angle to the longitudinal direction or axis, respectively, of the insulator provided with the sheds. The following definition of angles is made in respect to such horizontal planes. If the insulator would be mounted horizontally on the other hand, the taper angle values would be the same but with respect to a vertical plane. Of course, these insulators are as well suited for mounting of the whole insulator at other angles than vertical or horizontal mounting.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a more intricate insulator construction than the fibre glass core rod insulator mentioned above, but which is as well generally known to the skilled person and which doesn't need a detailed explanation here with the exception of the shed construction according to the present invention.
  • the general construction of this insulator 1 includes the insulator flanges 2 and 3 made of metal and in particular made of aluminium.
  • a stack 5 of varistor blocks is arranged between the flanges and is held by fibre reinforced bands 4 fixed to the flanges by screws 6 and 7.
  • this construction is shown in general as an insert 8 of the completed insulator 1 on which the silicon rubber housing 9 is provided.
  • the sheds 10, 10' extend from the housing.
  • the silicon rubber sheds 10, 10' are shown in this example as being uniform with the housing 9 but may as well be separate parts made of silicone rubber that are arranged on a separate housing or are arranged directly on the insert.
  • each disk or shed respectively, would exhibit a round circular circumferential outer shape, as it is usual with sheds, and a hollow middle part where the core or insert, respectively extends through the shed.
  • each shed presents itself generally in the shape of a ring.
  • Other outer shapes than round shapes are possible but would result in characteristics that are not uniform around the longitudinal axis L of the insulator and are thus rather avoided in practice.
  • the inner ring shape of the sheds is of course adapted to the core or insert or housing shape, respectively.
  • Figure 3 gives as well an example for the preferred "alternating" arrangement of the sheds along the longitudinal axis L which means that sheds of different diameter are following each other in longitudinal direction of the insulator.
  • an alternating arrangement is preferred, arrangements of sheds of the same diameter are within the scope of the present invention, as well.
  • a preferred shed distance or spacing between sheds, respectively is between 20 mm to 100 mm, preferably between 20 mm and 40 mm, but smaller and larger distances in vertical direction between sheds can be used on the insulator.
  • the size of the sheds in horizontal direction is given by their diameter, but the term radius may be used below as well, denominating half of the diameter.
  • the length of the part of the shed that actually protrudes from the cylindrical stem or inner ring part, respectively, of the disk-shaped shed can be used for defining the shed size in horizontal direction; this shed length can range from 10 mm to 200 mm, preferably can range from 10 mm to 100 mm. Diameters of the sheds of up to 500 mm or even more can be used but a preferred maximum size diameter is 200 mm or even 150 mm, combining good electrical characteristics with mechanical stability of the thin shed.
  • the shed of the present invention has a tapered disk shape with a taper angle of less than or equal to 10° (or less than or equal to 6° in a preferred sub-range) and a curved free edge, as will be explained in greater detail below with reference to some special embodiments.
  • the curved free or outer edge of the sheds is essentially of circular shape as seen in vertical section of the shed and has a radius of 0,1 mm or greater, and in particular of 0,2 mm or greater, and has a radius that is equal to or less than 2 mm, and in particular equal to or less than 1 mm, thus defining a range of 0,1 mm to 2 mm, and a preferred sub-range of 0,2 mm to 1 mm as the preferred round edge radius value of the sheds.
  • both the upper side and the lower side of the sheds are tapered with respect to the horizontal plane, and it is preferred that the upper taper angle and the lower taper angle are of equal size.
  • unequal taper angles may be used as well.
  • a shed according to an embodiment of the invention may exhibit an upper tapered side (with a taper angle of 10° or less, or particularly 6° or less) while the lower side is not tapered and can thus be said to have a taper angle of 0° or can be said as lying horizontally.
  • tapered surfaces of the sheds and thus their upper surface and their lower surface are each regular and flat, as shown in the vertical cuts of the sheds in the drawings.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show the preferred alternating shed arrangement, wherein for example sheds of a diameter d1 of 120 mm and sheds of a diameter d2 of 90 mm (a difference in 20%) alternate.
  • the spacing s between sheds is for example selected as 20 mm.
  • Figure 5 which shows detail A of Figure 4 and thus a part of a larger diameter shed 10 and a part of a smaller diameter shed 10' in an enlarged view compared to Figure 4 , these sheds are tapered on both sides.
  • the taper angles are equal on both sides of horizontal planes H1 or H2, respectively, which "cut" sheds 10 and 10' in an upper and a lower half for explanation purposes in the drawing.
  • the sheds 10 and 10' are symmetrical with regard to the planes H1 and H2, respectively.
  • an upper shed taper angle of 2.05° and a lower shed taper angle of 2.05° result in a total taper angle alpha of 4.1° for these 120 mm radius sheds, which furthermore have a radius R1 of e.g. 0.65 mm for the rounded edge 11 of the shed.
  • a preferred upper and lower shed angle of 2.95° each results in a total taper angle alpha of 5.9°, and an edge radius R2 of e.g. 0.8 mm may be provided on this shed.
  • the tip or edge 11, 11' respectively, of the free or outer edge of the sheds 10 and 10' is round and, as seen in the vertical cut view of Figure 5 , is circular and with the mentioned radii; the shed edge may e.g. be round, parabolic or asymmetric in shape.
  • the taper of the sheds according to such a preferred example is the same on both sides of the horizontal planes H1 and H2, respectively.
  • the total taper angle alpha of the upper larger diameter shed is the sum of the taper angle of the upper side 13 of shed 10 with the horizontal plane H1 and of the taper angle between the lower side 14 of shed and the horizontal plane H1.
  • the taper angles of the upper side 13 and of the lower side 14 with respect to the horizontal plane H1 are preferably of equal size, as is shown, but may as well be unequal, and the taper angle of the lower side 14 may be even 0° so that this side 14 is coplanar with plane H1.
  • a part of such a shed 10 is shown in Figure 9 in vertical cut view and wherein the same reference numerals are used as for the other embodiments.
  • the total taper angle of the sheds is equal to or less than 10° according to the present invention which results in the advantages explained above, and is in this example less than 6° which is even within the preferred sub-range.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show another alternating embodiment with sheds of three different diameters, wherein the uppermost and bottommost sheds 10 of insulator 1 have the largest diameter d1 and may have for example a diameter of 150 mm.
  • a total shed angle alpha of 6.1° resulting from an upper and a lower shed angle of 3.05° each is provided, and an edge 11 radius R1 of e.g. 0.65 mm is present on the 150 mm radius shed 10.
  • the same considerations as to the angle with regard to horizontal plane H1 of Figure 7 apply as in the example of Figures 4 and 5 above.
  • the large uppermost shed of Figures 6 and 7 serves to protect the lower sheds during rainy periods, thus leaving a relatively large dry area along the length of the insulator.
  • the large shed 10 also acts as a barrier for flashovers and increases creepage distance.
  • the tip 11 curvature of shed 10 is preferably round, as well, and provided with the mentioned radius of preferably 0.65 mm.
  • Shed 10' of this embodiment having the second largest diameter d2 may have a total taper angle alpha of 5.9° resulting from the two taper angles half this size of surfaces 13' and 14' with regard to the horizontal plane H2(as shed 10' in the example of Figure 5 ). Further an edge 11' radius R2 of e.g 0.8 mm is provided, giving a shed thickness directly adjacent to the curvature of 1.6 mm.
  • Radius R3 edge radius is provided on edge 11" and may have a value of e.g. 0.65 mm, as well.
  • FIG. 8 uses alternating sheds as with the example of Figures 6 and 7 , but shows that the preferred alternating shed design with a largest uppermost shed 10 of diameter d1 permits the removal of an inner shed while maintaining creepage distance along the insulator surface.
  • Shed spacing in the middle is selected preferably as being double the shed spacing s between other sheds.
  • the upper sheds are spaced 20 mm apart, as well as the lower sheds, but the two sheds 10" adjacent the middle horizontal plane H through the insulator are spaced 40 mm from each other.
  • the values for the sheds of this example may be the same for taper angle and tip radius as in Figures 6 and 7 .
  • the alternating thin shed design as described adheres to IEC 60815 recommendations, and values are thus preferably selected so that the ratios described in IEC 60815 are within the "white ranges" defined therein.
  • the sheds and insulators described above and claimed perform well in polluted environments.
  • a shed angle of equal or less than 10°, a shed tip radius of greater than 0.1 mm and in particular equal or greater 0.2 mm, but lower than 2 mm results in a material-saving shed with good electrical characteristics.
  • For the insulator with such sheds an alternating arrangement of the sheds is preferred and a preferred shed distance of 20 mm -40 mm is used to produce the open design.
  • the minimized design exhibits a small to zero increase in electric field at the shed tip (in the dry state) in comparison to sheds and insulators known in the prior art.
  • the thin sheds perform well in moist and polluted environments.
  • the reduced shed angle and tip radius allow for the dripping of rain while leaving the underside of the shed dry; long pendant drops, which may lead to flashover, are not observed.
  • the creepage distance of the design is controlled by adjusting the shed radius.
  • a preferred diameter not exceeding 150 mm with a shed thickness of for example 1.3 mm (round edge of shed with edge radius of 0.65 mm) is proposed in order to maintain the mechanical requirements of the shed under load (i.e. snow, ice, wind).
  • An alternating design with a distance of 20 mm to 40 mm between sheds performs well in polluted environments; reduction in shed thickness allows for an increase in the openness of the design, and minimal collection of pollutants on the shed surfaces are observed.
  • the open design allows for swift drying after rain and thus limited periods of dry band arcing occur.
  • the inventive features result in reduced surface damage from arcing.
  • the design is preferably symmetric; upside down installation of the finished part will not reduce the performance of the insulation in wet or polluted environments.
  • Sheds may for example be moulded or extruded.
