摘要
The paper reports on tests done on four commercial room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber high voltage insulator coatings aimed at achieving information on the relative performance of the coatings with respect to aging. The initial characterization of the coatings includes the identification of the primary filler type, concentration of filler, the amount of free fluid, and the molecular species of the free fluid. Soxhlet extraction and gas chromatography tests show considerable depletion of fluid after accelerated aging tests in acid-water and the associated changes to the physical properties is assessed by standard mechanical tests on coupon size specimens. The effect of acid-water aging on the hydrophobicity is assessed by measurements of the static contact angle and the onset of leakage current in an incline plane test. Several field aged coatings are assessed for residual LMW fluid which is compared to accelerated aging tests.
