Abstract

In this paper, 3D printing technology is used to fabricate polypropylene-based functionally graded insulators with different gradient forms, and their insulation properties are tested. The composite material used to make dielectric functionally graded materials (d-FGM) insulator is composed of polypropylene (PP) matrix and TiO2 filler. We determined the d-FGM insulators with two different gradient distribution forms of discrete gradient and quasi-continuous gradient through simulation analysis, and fabricated them with the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer. Then, the flashover voltage of the functionally graded insulator was tested under 50Hz AC voltage in 0.4MPa SF6 atmosphere. The results show that in these two schemes, the d-FGM insulator with quasi-continuous gradient distribution has more significant effect to improve the flashover voltage. This research provides important guidance for the design and manufacture of functionally graded materials (FGM) components with excellent surface flashover performance.
