Material Selection Considerations For Composite Insulation Fuses In Coastal Salt Spray Environments

In coastal areas, the long-term effects of salt and humidity in the air can cause salt spray corrosion on drop out fuse, leading to a decrease in its insulation performance and potentially causing flashover or short circuit. To cope with this harsh environment, composite insulation materials are an ideal choice due to their salt spray resistance and corrosion resistance. Composite materials can withstand the salt carried by sea breezes, maintaining a stable electrical insulation state and thus improving the overall reliability of the equipment.

Polymer composite materials have a stable structure and are not as prone to corrosion as ordinary metals, nor do they suffer performance degradation due to salt deposition. Similar to the use of fiber-reinforced composite materials in the construction and infrastructure sectors to resist salt spray corrosion, this approach also demonstrates superiority in electrical equipment.
