SIMOTEC® Apparatus Insulators
- Your key to a new switchgear generation
If you wish to optimize your switchgear in terms of safety against breaking and resistance against very adverse environmental conditions, the insulators you use must satisfy the highest demands. Thanks to their excellent resistance to breaking and bursting, their brilliant performance under polluted conditions and up to 60% reduced weight SIMOTEC® - composite insulators give rise to a completely new generation of high-voltage switchgear equipment.
SIMOTEC® - composite insulators not only provide you with our reliable product quality, but also with our all-round engineering expertise in power generation and distribution. Capitalize on this know-how when you devise new concepts and redesign your current switchgear equipment. Together with you we develop tailored, individual solutions to take advantage of any optimization potential, allowing you to utilize all the benefits: Enhanced safety, increased economy thanks to lower system costs and greater reliability.
- Intelligent construction and manufacturing
We also make use of the latest technology for vulcanization of the silicone shed to the epoxy resin tube for insulators which can be up to 6 m long. Using a special primer on the tube permits chemical bonding with the shed, providing a durable connection under any condition. The point of connection between the tube and the armature is coated with silicone and is generally of a gas-tight design. With the aid of a computer we calculate the exact number of layers and wrapping angle for the tube to design the tubes for defined compression and bending loads. In this way we can use tubes that are exposed to combined compressive and bending loads. As an option we can also provide tubes with an inner liner made of polyester for protection against SF6-decay products.
