Gasket Seal

High-voltage gasket seal for insulating bushings that prevents electrical discharge and environmental contamination in power transmission equipment.

Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized elastomeric or composite sealing component designed for high-voltage insulating bushings in electrical equipment. It creates a hermetic barrier between conductive elements and the external environment, preventing corona discharge, tracking, and moisture ingress while maintaining dielectric strength under extreme electrical and thermal conditions.
Working Principle
Works by compression between mating surfaces to form a continuous seal that blocks conductive paths. The seal's geometry and material properties provide both mechanical sealing and electrical insulation, distributing electrical field stress evenly to prevent partial discharge and flashover.
Materials
Silicone rubber (VMQ), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), fluorocarbon (FKM), or composite materials with ceramic/silica fillers. Materials must have: dielectric strength >20 kV/mm, volume resistivity >10^14 Ω·cm, tracking resistance >600 V (CTI), temperature range -50°C to +200°C, ozone/UV resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Hardness 60-80 Shore A
  • Flame Rating UL94 V-0
  • Voltage Rating 69-765 kV
  • Compression Set <20% (22h at 150°C)
  • Pressure Rating 0.5-2.0 MPa
  • Temperature Range -50°C to +200°C
  • Dielectric Strength ≥25 kV/mm
  • Tracking Resistance ≥600 V (CTI)
Standards
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IEC 60137, IEC 62217, ASTM D1414, DIN 53504

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a high-voltage gasket seal in insulating bushings?

To provide both electrical insulation and environmental sealing between the bushing's conductive core and external housing, preventing electrical discharge, moisture ingress, and contamination while maintaining dielectric integrity.

How often should high-voltage gasket seals be inspected or replaced?

During routine maintenance every 2-5 years, or when signs of compression set, cracking, tracking, or increased leakage current are detected. Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions and material specifications.

Can different elastomer materials be used interchangeably for high-voltage gasket seals?

No, material selection depends on specific electrical, thermal, and chemical requirements. Silicone offers best temperature range, EPDM provides good ozone resistance, and FKM offers superior chemical resistance.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
