Performance Study of Silicone Rubber Polymer was Filled Fly Ash as Insulator Material on High Voltage Transmission Tower
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Silicone rubber has emerged as an alternative material for porcelain insulators and glass insulators on a high voltage transmission because it is lightweight, so it helps in planning the structure of the transmission tower. However, due to the cost of production of silicone rubber insulators are expensive and it is less resistant to climate change, it has not been used extensively as in Indonesia. One method to get silicone rubber insulator that is cheap is to mix it with other materials in the form filler that is inexpensive and easy to obtain as fly ash of coal because this material has a particle size that is very fine and its contents are materials that have been and are being investigated as filler of silicone rubber. This paper describe about the research that has proven the feasibility of fly ash as filler for silicone rubber. The results of this study is the tensile strength of silicone rubber increased proportional to the increase of fly ash content on silicone rubber, but lowers elongation-to-break of the silicone rubber. Furthermore, the electrical properties, namely the dielectric strength of silicone rubber will increase with the addition of filler (fly ash), where the greatest dielectric strength on the composition of the filler (fly ash) 40%. As for the relative permittivity is increased with the addition of filler (fly ash) to silicone rubber by 50%. And the silicone rubber surface resistance will increase with the addition of filler (fly ash).
