Definitions
- the present invention refers to a modular polymeric insulator which is suitable for being installed along overhead primary power distribution networks (typically from 3.8 kV to 34.5 kV).
- the modular polymeric insulator of the present invention is suitable for being installed on the cross arms of a pole or directly on the pole, for example in accordance with NBR 5433 and NBR 5434 Standards.
- Conventional overhead primary power networks typically comprise one or more conductors which are secured to a supporting element (e.g. a pole) by means of an insulator which is generally made of porcelain, glass or a polymeric material.
- the insulators are the so-called "pin type" insulators.
- Pin type insulator it is meant an insulator which comprises one or more insulator bodies stacked together, usually provided with sheds on the outer surface to improve electrical performance.
- This kind of insulator is fastened to a r supporting element (e.g. a pole cross arm) through a "long” metallic pin screwed into the insulator body or bodies.
- the word “long” means here a pin that extends nearly for the whole length of the insulator bodies stack.
- the pins of the "Pin type" insulators are also subjected to flexural and shearing stresses which occur on the insulators, for instance, when the power line is subjected to a direction change.
- the side portion of the insulators are required to support the conductors during said changes of direction.
- two sets of cross arms, pins and insulators are provided to divide mechanical stresses.
- tensile stresses as well as compression stresses can originate along the axis of the pin, especially in correspondence of the thread portion of the pin which is provided for fastening the insulating module(s) to the pin.
- metallic pins has the following drawbacks: a) concentration of the electric field at the upper part of the insulator, particularly at the region between the conductor and the pin (equipotential surfaces); b) occurrence of ionization at the lower part of the insulator threading which causes the formation of radio interference; c) formation of leakage currents; d) breakage during transport, installation or acts of vandalism, due to the fragility to impact of porcelain or glass; e) corrosion of the metallic pin in aggressive environments; f) high maintenance costs due to the above mentioned problems.
- document BR PI 0001482-6 A describes an insulator comprising a ceramic or polymeric body and a pin made of a plastic material.
- document BR PI 0103075-2 - in the name of the same Applicant - discloses a non-metallic pin which is used as an interface between a "pin type" insulator and a metallic pin for fastening an insulator to a supporting element.
- the non-metallic pin is provided with a protective covering which confers to the non-metallic pin tracking and erosion resistance.
- Post type insulator an insulator which comprises one or more insulator bodies stacked together, usually provided with sheds on the outer surface to improve electrical performance.
- This kind of insulator is fastened to a support (e.g. a pole cross arm) by means of a relatively short bolt or pin, whose length does not extend beyond the basis of the insulator body (the lower body in case of a stack). Therefore, the total insulator size is longer, which improves the electrical performance of the "Post-type” insulator with respect to a "Pin-type” insulator.
- Such type of insulator is known also as "Pillar type”.
- the "Post-type” insulators are more expensive and heavy and still fragile to impact than the "Pin type” insulators.
- the Applicant has found that such a result can be obtained by providing the insulator with at least two insulating modules which are joined together by means of a non-metallic pin which is received in a bore provided inside said insulating modules.
- the modular polymeric insulator of the present invention comprises: a first insulating module, at least one further insulating module superimposed to said first insulating module and a non-metallic pin which extends through said first insulating module and said at least one further insulating module.
- the first insulating module is the one - among the plurality of insulating modules which usually form the insulator - which is adjacent to the supporting element of the modular polymeric insulator and is arranged to ensure the fastening with said supporting element.
- the first insulating module and the at least one further insulating module are provided with a bore for receiving the non-metallic pin.
- the first insulating module is provided with a recess for receiving a fastening means which is suitable for fastening the modular polymeric insulator to a supporting device, e.g. a pole.
- said fastening means is a metallic pin or a bolt which is generally used in the so-called "Post type" insulators.
- the insulating modules are manufactured of the same polymeric material and the non-metallic pin is completely encased by the insulating modules so that no tracking or weathering resistance have to be specifically conferred to the non- metallic pin.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a modular polymeric insulator of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a partially sectioned side view of a modular polymeric insulator of the present invention
- Figure 3 is an exploded partially sectioned side view of the modular polymeric insulator of Figure 2.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a modular polymeric insulator 20 according to the present invention, said insulator being provided with two insulating modules superimposing each other.
- the modular polymeric insulator 20 of the present invention comprises a first insulating module 3, and a second insulating module 4 which is superimposed to the first insulating module 3.
- the insulating modules 3, 4 are provided with sheds which protrude from the outer surface of said modules. Said sheds improve the electrical performance of the insulator since they extend the rated voltage thereof.
- the modular polymeric insulator 20 further comprises a non-metallic pin 1 which extends through the first insulating module 3 and the second insulating module 4.
- the insulating modules 3, 4 of the modular polymeric insulator 20 are provided with a bore for receiving the non-metallic pin 1.
- the pin 1 includes, at the upper part thereof, a threaded portion 2 which allows the fixing thereof to the second insulating module 4.
- the bore of the modular polymeric insulator 20, as well as the body of the pin 1, is preferably provided with a conical shape. Said shape advantageously confers to the insulator 20 a high flexural resistance and allows to maintain a correct positioning of the insulating modules after assembling.
- the pin 1 is provided with side lugs 6 and the bore of the insulating modules 3, 4 is provided with corresponding grooves 5.
- the lugs 6 and the grooves 5 improve the mechanical resistance of the insulator 20 and facilitate the assembling thereof.
- the pin 1 further includes, at the lower part thereof, a recess 7 for receiving a means for fastening the modular polymeric insulator 20 to a supporting element (not shown), e.g. a pole.
- a supporting element e.g. a pole.
- the modular polymeric insulator 20 is fastened to the pole cross arms which are made of wood or other materials.
- the fastening means is a metallic pin. More preferably, the metallic pin has the same dimensions of the metallic pin which is generally used in the "Post type" insulators.
- the pin 1 Extending from the bottom of the recess to a variable height of about 10 to 60 mm, the pin 1 is provided with a threaded portion which is suitable to engage and fasten thereto the fastening means.
- the recess 7 is provided with a metallic insert 9 - which is fitted into the recess 7 - that has a threaded portion for receiving and engaging the fastening means.
- the metallic insert 9 is a tubular element the dimensions of which (height and internal diameter) are selected to ensure a good mechanical interference with the insulating module as well as a suitable flexural strength. Furthermore, the presence of this metallic insert provides an electrostatic shield for the metallic pin.
- the fastening means is a metallic bolt.
- the modular polymeric insulator 20 comprises an o-ring 10 which is positioned between adjacent insulating modules.
- the o-ring 10 is positioned between the first insulating module 3 and the second insulating module 4.
- the insulating modules 3, 4 of the modular polymeric insulator 20 are produced by injection moulding.
- the insulating modules 3, 4 are made of high density polyethylene of (FfDPE).
- the non-metallic pin 1 is produced by injection moulding of a polymeric material.
