Description

Electrical insulation system based on silicone rubber
The present invention refers to an electrical insulation system having an improved tracking and erosion resistance, wherein said electrical insulation system is based on a silicone rubber composition comprising a fluorinated hydrocarbon.
Silicone rubbers are widely used in the electrical engineering industry, especially for outdoor insulation, due to their good surface properties and the capability to recover hydrophobicity . However, particularly in outdoor and wet environment often erosion patterns are observed on the rubber surface, whereby the electrical conductivity within said pattern is considerably increased due to discharge degradation. Said electrically conductive path is generally called track. Tracks reduce the insulation strength and may lead to flashover or dielectric breakdown.
As a result tracking-resistant polymer systems have been developed for the use as outdoor high-voltage insulation. A preferred example is high temperature vulcanized polydimethylsiloxane filled with aluminium tri- hydrate [(ATH), (Al2O3.3H2O) ] containing generally about 30 to 70% by weight of ATH, calculated to the total weight of the insulation material [or 43 parts (phr) to 230 parts (phr) of ATH per 100 part of silicone rubber] . Such a material is often used to produce outdoor high-voltage insulation systems. Aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)3] is often referred to as aluminium trihydrate (ATH) because chemically (Al2O3.3H2O) corresponds to 2[Al(OH)3], but the term "ATH" is generally used in the field of polymeric outdoor insulation.
Testing the tracking resistance of various commercial high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber compositions and various commercial high temperature vulcanized polydimethylsiloxane compositions according to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard 60587 at 4.5 kV revealed that these materials often failed during testing, showing deep erosion and a layer-wise degradation, resulting in a dielectric breakdown in the IEC 60587 tracking test. The degradation mechanism was found to be complicated, as temperatures of above 12000C and even higher than 16000C may arise during surface discharge. Therefore, there is a need to improve the tracking and erosion resistance of filler containing silicone rubber compositions .
It has now been found that silicone rubber compositions and especially high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber compositions, preferably compositions based on high temperature vulcanized polydimethyl- siloxanes, show an improved tracking and erosion resistance without loss of mechanical properties when said silicone rubber composition is based on a silicone rubber as a silicone base material, and comprises at least one fluorinated hydrocarbon material and at least one filler material, whereby said composition may optionally contain further filler materials and additives .
The present invention is defined in the claims . The present invention refers to a silicone rubber composition with improved tracking and erosion resistance, wherein said silicone rubber composition is based on a silicone rubber as a base material, and comprises at least one fluorinated hydrocarbon material and at least one inorganic filler material, and optionally further additives, characterized in that: (i) the at least one fluorinated hydrocarbon material is a solid fluorinated hydrocarbon polymer which is present within the range of 1 part (by weight) to 30 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base; and
(ii) the at least one inorganic filler is selected from inorganic fillers known to be used in the field of electrical insulations, wherein
(iii) the total filler content is within the range of 40 parts (by weight) to 230 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base.
The present invention refers to the hardened resp. cured silicone rubber composition, which preferably is a high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber composition. The present invention refers also to the hardenable resp. uncured silicone rubber composition wherein the silicone resin starting materials are present in an non-hardened resp. uncured form and upon hardening yield the final hardened resp. cured silicone rubber composition. The present invention further refers to a method of producing said silicone rubber composition. The present invention further refers to the use of said silicone rubber composition as an insulation system in electrical articles . The present invention further refers to the electrical articles comprising said silicone rubber composition with improved tracking and erosion resistance.
The fluorinated hydrocarbon material as a solid fluorinated hydrocarbon polymer is preferably present within the range of 2 parts (by weight) to 20 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base, preferably within the range of 3 parts (by weight) to 20 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base, preferably within the range of 4 parts (by weight) to 15 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base, preferably within the range of 5 parts (by weight) to 12 parts (by weight) per 100 parts (by weight) of silicone base.
Solid fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers are known per se and commercially available. Solid fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers for example are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) , tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropy- lene-copolymer (FEP) , tetrafluoroethylene/ethylene-copolymer (ETFE) , tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene/vinylidenefluoride-terpolymer, polytrifluorochlorethylene (PCTFE) , trifluorochlorethylene/ethylene- copolymer (ECTFE) , polyvinylfluoride (PVF) , polyvinylidenfluoride (PVDF or PVF3) . Further solid fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers are known and can be used within the scope of the present invention.
