PC insulation sheet description

1. The main indicators that affect the performance of insulating materials

1. Insulation resistance and resistivity: Resistance is the reciprocal of conductance, and resistivity is the resistance per unit volume. The less the material conducts, the greater its resistance. The two are in a reciprocal relationship. For insulating materials, it is always hoped that the resistivity is as high as possible.

2. Relative permittivity and dielectric loss tangent: Insulating materials are used for two purposes: mutual insulation of electrical network components and capacitor dielectric (energy storage). The former requires a small relative permittivity, the latter requires a large relative permittivity, and both require a small dielectric loss tangent, especially for insulating materials used under high frequency and high voltage, in order to make the dielectric loss small, both require the use of Insulating material with small dielectric loss tangent.

3. Breakdown voltage and electric strength: The insulating material is destroyed under a certain strong electric field, and it loses its insulating property and becomes a conductive state, which is called breakdown. The voltage at breakdown is called breakdown voltage (dielectric strength). Electric strength is the quotient of the voltage when breakdown occurs under specified conditions and the distance between the two electrodes that bear the applied voltage, that is, the breakdown voltage per unit thickness. For insulating materials, the higher the breakdown voltage and electrical strength, the better. PC insulation sheet

4. Tensile strength: It is the maximum tensile stress that the sample bears in the tensile test. It is the most widely used and representative test for the mechanical properties of insulating materials.

5. Combustion resistance: refers to the ability of insulating materials to resist combustion when in contact with flames or prevent continued combustion when they leave the flames. With the ever-expanding application of insulating materials, the requirements for their combustion resistance are becoming more important. People use various methods to improve and enhance the combustion resistance of insulating materials. The higher the combustion resistance, the better the safety.

6. Arc resistance: Under the specified test conditions, the insulating material can withstand the arc action along its surface. In the test, AC high voltage and small current are used, and the arcing effect generated by the high voltage between the two electrodes is used to determine the arc resistance of the insulating material by the time required to form a conductive layer on the surface of the insulating material. The larger the time value, the better the arc resistance.

7. Sealing degree: It is better to seal and isolate oil and water quality
