HTV silicone rubber composite insulator is an important part of the overhead transmission line
its abnormal febrile state will aggravate the aging of the shed in
the long-term outdoor operation
which will
in case of serious condition
threaten the safe operation of the transmission line. Through 480 h artificially thermal aging test on the shed samples of the HTV silicone rubber composite insulator and measurement of such multiple performance parameters as Shore hardness
WCA
FTIR
micro topography and surface flashover voltage
the thermal aging characteristics of the sample are analyzed. The study results show that the hardening of the shed can be intensified and the hydrophobicity of the material is reduced after long-term thermal aging. With the increase of thermal aging time
the aging degree of the shed sample increases
and the surface flashover voltage increases first and then decreases.
