Abstract

With the aim of reducing the insulation faults in GIS and achieving the purpose of GIS device miniaturization, it is very important to develop a new type insulation material. In this paper, the micro-nano Al2O 3/Epoxy composites were proposed, and its dielectric breakdown strength was investigated. Nano-flllers and micro-fillers (α-Al 2O3 with a purity of 99.9%, particle size range at 12∼21 μm for micro fillers, and average particle size with 30 nm for nano fillers) were dispersed in the epoxy resin with shear force and ultrasonic vibration. The specimens were produced by a curing reaction with the hardener. Six kinds of material were prepared for this investigation, which were neat epoxy, nano-composite (loaded with 5 wt% nano-Al2O3 fillers), nano-composite (loaded with 5 wt% nano-TiO2 fillers),micro-composite (loaded with 65 wt% micro-Al2O3 fillers), nano-micro-mixture-composites (loaded with 2 wt% nano-Al 2O3 fillers and 63 wt% micro-Al2O3 fillers), nano-micro-mixture-composites (loaded with 2 wt% nano-TiO2 fillers and 63 wt% micro-Al2O3 fillers). Dispersion of the micro and nano Al2O3 in the epoxy resin was observed through SEM, and thermal behavior was analyzed with Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The dielectric constant and dielectric loss were measured by broadband dielectric spectrum test facility. Dielectric breakdown experiments were carried out through the sphere-plate sample-sphere configuration under AC voltage.
