The Application of Insulating Paperboard in High-Voltage Equipment such as Transformers and Instrument Transformers

Insulating paperboard is an indispensable material in electrical engineering, known for its excellent electrical insulation performance, mechanical strength, and heat resistance. In high-voltage electrical equipment such as transformers and instrument transformers, its role is crucial, primarily providing electrical isolation to prevent current leakage and short circuits, ensuring the safe operation of equipment.

In transformers, insulating paperboard is used for interlayer insulation and end protection. It helps to reduce oil gaps and air gaps, thereby enhancing the insulation strength of transformers. The compatibility of insulating paperboard with transformer oil makes it effective in improving the thermal stability and electrical performance of the equipment. The use of insulating paperboard is essential for maintaining the long-term stable operation of transformers.

In instrument transformers, insulating paperboard is also indispensable. It ensures the reliability and accuracy of instrument transformers in high-voltage environments, which are key devices used for measurement and protection in power systems. The high mechanical strength of insulating paperboard also plays a significant role in the structural support of instrument transformers.

With technological advancements, the performance of insulating paperboard is continuously improving. By improving production processes, such as reducing water-conducting impurities and increasing the purity of water used in paperboard manufacturing, the mechanical performance of modern insulating paperboard has increased by 20%, the conductivity of ash and water-extracted substances has decreased by 50%, and the electrical strength in oil has increased by more than 20%. These improvements have made insulating paperboard more widely used in ultra-high and extra-high voltage transformers, enhancing the operational efficiency and safety of the equipment.

In practical applications, insulating paperboard is also processed into various shaped molded parts, such as pads, braces, pressure rings, and gaskets, to meet the design needs of transformers, reactors, instrument transformers, motors, etc. The electrical and mechanical performance of these molded parts mainly depend on the characteristics of the material itself and the manufacturing methods, playing a key role in ensuring the structural integrity and electrical performance of the equipment.

In summary, the application of insulating paperboard in high-voltage equipment such as transformers and instrument transformers is multifaceted. It not only improves the insulation performance of the equipment but also enhances its mechanical stability. With the emergence of new materials and technologies, the application prospects of insulating paperboard will be broader, providing a more solid guarantee for the stable operation of power systems.
