Study on Swelling Effect of Electrified Cleaning Agent on Silicone Rubber Used for Insulator and Its Influence
The pollution of Composite Pillar insulators in DC converter station is serious
which leads to the acceleration of corrosion and aging of umbrella skirt materials
and even pollution flashover accidents.Electrified cleaning of composite insulators is an important means to restore insulation performance and operation reliability.Composite insulator umbrella skirt is made of silicone rubber
and the detergent will swell the silicone rubber.In order to study the rel
ationship between the swelling index of silicone rubber for composite post insulators in substations and their electrical and mechanical properties
the frequency domain dielectric spectroscopy and mechanical tests are carried out.The results show that the diameter growth rate of silicone rubber is 4.7% and the swelling index is 6.8% after20 minutes of swelling.The swelling index and the diameter growth rate continue to increase after further swelling
which indicates that the long time of live cleaning will lead to great changes in the shape and structure of composite insulators.The effect of frequency and swelling index on dielectric spectrum is consistent.The complex dielectric constant
complex capacitance and dielectric loss of silicone rubber decrease with the increase of frequency and swelling index.The molecular structure of silicone rubber will change greatly after swelling.The swelling of silicone rubber in the frequency range of 10

Hz will not cause the decrease of dielectric properties.The swelling of silicone rubber has no obvious effect on hydrophobicity and hydrophobicity migration.The average value of contact angle a of dry and clean silicone rubber before and after swelling fluctuates in the range of 92°~98° and the average value of 0 fluctuates in the range of 119°~28° after artificial fouling and hydrophobic migration.The mechanical properties of silicone rubber are weakened slightly by swelling.The breaking tensile strength of silicone rubber decreased by 2% after swelling for 20 minutes.The test results show that the swelling degree of silicone rubber in the cleaning agent is greatly affected by the impregnating time
and the swelling effect has little effect on hydrophobicity
electrical and mechanical properties
the influence of detergent residue on silicone rubber can be controlled by using volatile formula or strong convection measure.
