What is G10?
G10 is a composite material made of fiber glass cloth and epoxy resin, originally developed for use in aircraft, and it is capable of withstanding great forces without deformation. This material has insulating and acid-alkali resistance properties, and is not permeable to water vapor or liquids, while being lightweight. These characteristics make G10 insulating material an ideal choice for various fields such as electronics, aerospace, chemical industry, and precision instrument manufacturing.
In high voltage electrical applications, the performance of insulating materials is critical. G10 epoxy board, with its excellent insulation characteristics and stability, is the ideal insulation material choice in high pressure environments. In this paper, the insulation properties of G10 epoxy board are discussed and compared with those of ordinary epoxy board.
G10 epoxy board is a composite material composed of high performance epoxy resin and glass fiber cloth laminated. It has excellent electrical insulation properties, including high dielectric strength and low dielectric constant. These characteristics make the G10 epoxy board effectively resist current leakage and arc occurrence under high pressure conditions, ensuring the safe operation of the electrical system.
Compared with ordinary epoxy boards, G10 epoxy boards also have significant advantages in temperature resistance. It is able to maintain stable insulation performance in higher temperature ranges, even in the long-term high temperature operating environment without performance degradation. This is particularly important for electrical equipment that needs to operate under extreme temperature conditions.
In addition, the mechanical strength of the G10 epoxy board is also higher than that of ordinary epoxy board, which makes it more durable when subjected to mechanical loads or shocks. This feature of the G10 epoxy board is particularly valuable in support structures and protective components for high-voltage electrical equipment.
Although the G10 epoxy board may cost more than some ordinary epoxy boards, its long-term stability and reliability in high-pressure environments significantly reduce maintenance costs and potential failure risks. In the long run, G10 epoxy board is a cost-effective material choice.
In summary, the insulation properties and stability of G10 epoxy boards in high voltage environments make them ideal materials for high voltage electrical applications. Understanding the difference between G10 epoxy and ordinary epoxy helps engineers and purchasers make informed material choices in high-pressure projects.
Other features of G10
In addition to the above mentioned features, the G10 has many other features:
Corrosion resistant – G10 is non-conductive, non-corrosive, and non-sparking. This makes it ideal for electrical applications, such as wiring and marine equipment.
Electrical and thermally isolating – G10 does not conduct electricity or heat, making it extremely useful for power generation or other electrical equipment
Insulating materials play a vital role in high voltage power applications. They not only ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system, but also improve the efficiency of power transmission, adapt to complex environments, meet special needs, and promote technological innovation and development. Therefore, in the design and manufacturing process of high-voltage power devices, great attention should be paid to the selection and application of insulating materials.
