Insulator Testing Machine of Thermal-Mechanical Stress

The thermal-mechanical stress test is a sample test for composite insulators and porcelain insulators required in IEC. It tests insulators with the cycling of high temperatures and low-temperature environments.

  1. General Details

    What is the thermal-mechanical testing machine?

    The thermal-mechanical testing machine is designed to test the thermal-mechanical performance of the string insulator.

     

    How are insulators tested in this thermal-mechanical test?

    Insulators are loaded into the cabinet under room temperature. During the test, insulator units shall be subjected to four 24-hour cycles of cooling and heating, and to a tensile load equal to 60% of the specified electromechanical or mechanical failing load(as per IEC 383).

    How many types of thermal-mechanical testing machines do you have?

    Currently, we have 2 types of structure:
    Vertical type
    Horizontal type

     

    What specimens are available in this test?

    Specimen available:
    Ceramic insulator
    Glass insulator
