Silicon Nitride High-Voltage Insulator
Application Fields
-
•
Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) and Circuit Breakers: Used to isolate high-voltage conductors from grounded metal enclosures, withstanding operational forces and short-circuit current impacts
1、High-Voltage/Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current Transmission (HVDC/UHVDC): Serve as insulating support components in converter valve towers, where low dielectric loss reduces energy dissipation
2、New Energy Vehicles: Act as DC-Link busbar support sleeves in motor controllers, enduring voltages above 800V, high temperatures, and vibrations
-
3、Aerospace and Marine Power Systems: Compact medium-voltage insulation components meeting high power density and reliability requirements
Key Performance Advantages
-
High Mechanical Strength and Toughness: Flexural strength reaches 700–1000 MPa, surpassing alumina ceramics (300–400 MPa), enabling lightweight and compact designs
-
Excellent Thermal Properties: Thermal conductivity of 20–30 W/m·K and low thermal expansion coefficient (~3.2×10⁻⁶/K), closely matching metals, ensuring thermal shock resistance and efficient heat dissipation
-
Outstanding Electrical Insulation: Dielectric strength >15–20 kV/mm, volume resistivity >10¹⁴ Ω·cm, and low dielectric loss (tanδ
Chemical Stability: Resistant to acids, alkalis, salt spray, and industrial pollutants, ensuring decades-long service life in harsh conditions
