Silicone Rubber Skirts Can Improve The External Insulation Of Fuses.

Many power equipment manufacturers are recently favoring composite structural materials for outdoor high-voltage installations such as drop out fuse, replacing traditional porcelain insulators with silicone rubber sheds. Silicone rubber sheds are molded using high-polymer polymerization technology, offering significantly superior sealing and hydrophobic properties compared to porcelain materials. According to publicly available data, these sheds are durable, corrosion-resistant, moisture-resistant, and pollution-resistant, maintaining stable electrical insulation even in salt spray, acid/alkali, or high-humidity environments.

The sheds, fiberglass core, and metal ends are integrally molded, resulting in a lightweight, impact-resistant, and vibration-resistant overall structure. This reduces the risk of breakage during transportation and installation, and minimizes safety hazards caused by porcelain breakage.

From a maintenance cost and operational adaptability perspective, silicone rubber sheds are more resistant to humidity, dirt, and acid/alkali corrosion, enabling long-term use in heavily polluted areas or coastal areas with frequent salt spray. Traditional porcelain insulation, on the other hand, is prone to cracking or surface deterioration in these environments, affecting its insulation performance.
