Analyzing Some Characteristics of a Cylinderlike Shape Fiberglass-Epoxy Resin Composite
Journal Title: ANALELE UNIVERSITATII DIN CRAIOVA - Seria Inginerie electrica - Year 2013, Vol 37, Issue 37
Abstract
This paper introduces a new epoxy resin based composite material, reinforced with glass fibers, called Rotasteclofirep, manufactured by S.C. Electroputere Company, Romania. The first part of this paper includes some references concerning the constituents and the manufacturing modern technology of the composite under study. The second part presents a performance evaluation of the tested composite, based on experimental results provided by determination of its main physical and mechanical properties. The tests we are referring to in this paper are: the determination of compressive strength, static bending strength Charpy shock resistance, the volume and surface resistivity, the withstand and breakdown voltages and thermal stability. These tests were performed in specialized Romanian laboratories. The products obtained by using Rotasteclofirep material, have low weight, very good mechanical properties, high resistance to chemical agents and a good behavior in terms of dielectric and thermal properties. These outstanding proprieties qualify this material to be used as electric insulator in whatever requiring insulation certain part of any electrical device. The Romania based S.C. Electroputere Company already uses Rotasteclofirep in the construction of transformers, load tap switches and electrical machines. This new Rotasteclofirep material could be delivered as tubes, cylinders and parallelepiped-like parts at any required dimension variety, on a large range of customer’s demand.
