Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates, in a first aspect, to a protective sleeve for electrically and thermally protecting an electrically conductive busbar, and particularly to a protective textile sleeve with a high thermal and electric resistance and a high adaptability to curved geometries.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to a method for obtaining the protective sleeve of the first aspect.
  • busbars are metallic elements that act as a system of electrical conductors in a generating or receiving station in which electrical energy is concentrated for distribution or feeding of large capacity equipment.
  • the protective sleeves for electrically and thermally protecting an electrically conductive busbar known in the art are generally made of vinyl, such as that disclosed in KR100845950 B1 , or, for a busbar having bent sections, with a heat-shrinkable insulating tubing, as disclosed in CN105957591B .
  • the present invention relates, in a first aspect, to a protective sleeve for electrically and thermally protecting an electrically conductive busbar.
  • the protective sleeve is a textile sleeve, particularly a textile sleeve made of closed mesh circular warp knitbraided fibreglass yarns.
  • the protective sleeve is dimensioned and has a determined transversal elasticity (preferably providing an expansion ratio of at least 1:6) to allow the protective sleeve to sleeve over and tightly cover consecutive flat straight strip segments of the busbar longitudinally running along crossing directions and respective intermediate curved flat segments joining said flat straight strip segments, said determined transversal elasticity being provided by the closed mesh circular warp knitbraiding of the fibreglass yarns.
  • the textile sleeve is impregnated with an impregnant comprising silicone to improve its thermal stability, dielectric strength and achieve a better coupling when sleeved over the busbar.
  • the protective sleeve of the first aspect of the present invention has still a greater capability for adaptation to curved geometries, and a higher thermal and electrical resistance is achieved, protecting the busbar from thermal leaks generated, for example, in a battery connected thereto, and protecting that battery from short circuits.
  • said impregnant is a water-based impregnant that comprises one or more emulsifying silicones and an acrylic resin.
  • the water-based impregnant comprises between 45% and 70%, preferably between 55% and 60%, in weight of said one or more emulsifying silicones and between 15% and 40%, preferably between 22% and 27%, in weight of said acrylic resin.
  • the textile sleeve has been made in a knitting machine with a head with 18 needles and an E8 to E12 gauge.
  • This head/needle ratio gives the textile sleeve a 1:6 expansion ratio.
  • the fibre glass yarns have a title ranging from 34/2 tex to 136/6 tex.
  • the textile sleeve has a weight ranging from 20 g/m to 40g/m.
  • the textile sleeve ranges from 2 to 12 stitches/cm and from 2 to 8 wales/cm in a rest position, when not covering the busbar, and ranges from 8 to 24 stitches/cm in use, when sleeved over the busbar.
  • the textile sleeve has a warp length ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm.
  • the textile sleeve has an optical coverage factor ranging from 70% to 85%.
  • the textile sleeve has a wall thickness ranging 0.2 mm to 2 mm.
  • an embodiment combining at least the above mentioned wall thickness and weight ranges provides a protective sleeve which indeed has an even greater capability for adaptation to curved geometries and to small spaces where the busbars are installed, without the protective sleeve requiring to modify those installation spaces, as it occupies a minimum space in the compartment where the electric batteries are located.
  • the main advantages of the protective sleeve of the first aspect of the present invention compared to those of the prior art are: higher transversal elasticity, lighter, greater thermal stability and a higher production.
  • the present invention relates to a method for obtaining a protective sleeve for electrically and thermally protecting an electrically conductive busbar which, in contrast to the methods known in the art, comprises closed-mesh circular warp knitbraiding fibreglass yarns to obtain the protective sleeve in the form of a textile sleeve.
  • the method further comprises impregnating the textile sleeve with an impregnant comprising silicone.
  • the method of the second aspect of the present invention further comprises curing said impregnant that impregnates the textile sleeve, at a temperature ranging from 150°C and 600°C during a period ranging from 15 seconds to 15 minutes.
  • the method of the second aspect of the present invention is applied, for some embodiments, to manufacture the protective sleeve of the first aspect of the present invention for any of its embodiments.
  • Figure 1 shows the protection/textile sleeve S of the first aspect of the present invention tightly sleeved over and tightly covering an electrically conductive busbar B, particularly consecutive flat straight strip segments of the busbar B longitudinally running along crossing directions, indicated in the Figure by arrows X, Y, and Z, and also along intermediate curved flat segments joining the flat straight strip segments.
  • the high transversal elasticity of the sleeve S provided by the circular warp knit braiding of the fibreglass yarns makes it suitable to be sleeved over busbars B with such varying geometry, i.e. including several and different curved segments.
  • Figure 2 shows the knitting structure used to knit the fiberglass yarns to manufacture the textile sleeve S, particularly a closed mesh circular warp knitbraided structure.
  • the textile sleeve meshes are formed vertically in a closed manner, and joined to each other between adjacent passes, so that diagonal and vertical connections are provided, providing a property to the so knitted sleeve that makes it difficult to unravel.
  • the present inventors have manufactured a prototype of the protective sleeve S, impregnating the textile sleeve with a water-based impregnation that is composed of emulsifying silicones, acrylic resins and a portion of pigmentation that provides the final colour to the textile element, particularly with the following composition: • Transparent emulsifying silicones (58.3%)
  • the manufactured prototype has the following properties:
  • the dielectric strength test has not been carried out on a gauge but directly on the busbar B to be sheathed. Once the busbar B is sheathed with the protective sleeve S, a part of this sheathed busbar B is wrapped in silver foil and the ends of the busbar B are placed in the vortices of the measuring device and then the test is started, providing the above identified results.
