Selection Requirements for Glass Fibers in Taporel Insulating Core Rods
1. The Dominant Role of Glass Fiber
Glass fiber is the primary structural material in insulating core rods, serving as the reinforcing "skeleton." In composite insulators used domestically, glass fiber accounts for approximately 80% of the core rod's total weight and about 65% of its volume. Consequently, the properties of the glass fiber dictate the overall performance of the core rod.
2. Advantages of E-Glass (Alkali-Free Glass Fiber)
Composite insulator core rods typically utilize E-glass (Alkali-free glass fiber). E-glass is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), and boron oxide (B₂O₃). These oxides possess stable molecular structures and exist in a crystalline...
