Epoxy Resin Curing Process for Basin-Type Insulators

Application ID: 137951


Basin-type insulators are critical components in Gas-Insulated Metal-Enclosed Switchgear (GIS). During the manufacturing process, the curing of epoxy resin can generate residual stresses that may lead to the formation of cracks in insulators. Over time, these cracks can cause partial discharges, compromising the safe operation of GIS equipment by impairing its electrical insulation performance.

This model simulates the epoxy resin curing process and studies the residual stress in the basin-type insulator. The curing reactions, heat generation, thermal expansion, and curing shrinkage are considered to accurately predict the residual stress.
