3 The Manufacturing Shop Modern state-of-art manufacturing facility for production of Silicone composite insulators with complete manufacturing and testing facilities. The Process Crimping State of Art Microprocessor controlled Crimping machine with Acoustic Crack detection ensures uniform crimping without stress concentration Injection Moulding The Silicone housing is injection moulded over FRP rod in a fully automatic Microprocessor controlled Injection Moulding Machine. The housing is bonded securely over the entire length of the FRP rod The Materials Fiber Glass Rod Metal Fittings Silicon Rubber Raw materials (Silicon Rubber, Boron free ECR grade FRP Rod & SGI Castings/Steel Forged Metal Fittings) are sourced from reputed manufacturers after undergoing stringent quality checks.

4 Construction Features Acid Resistant Core rod (ECR Glass) Forged steel Metal Fitting - Galvanised Weather Sheds designs for pollutted conditions Interface Core to Housing- Thicknesss conforming to IEC Interface- Silicone Overlapping Metal Fitting Double sealing Silicone Housing Manufacturing features unique to BHEL Weather shed housing overlap at end fittings ensures no moisture penetration. Segment joining through Lap Jointing to ensure perfect sealing of joints Ultrasonic cleaning of end fittings after galvanizing to remove moisture, greasy matter and rust. Infrared curing of FRP rod to remove moisture Silicone dough procured from reputed manufacturer after complete technical evaluation No binders or fillers are added to dilute the properties of Silicone Metal fittings made of High quality forged steel / Spheroidal Graphite Iron castings.

5 Quality & Reliability BHEL s Composite insulators undergo rigorous design tests, type tests, routine tests and acceptance tests in conformance to IEC and IEC BHEL has facilities to carry out all the required tests for incoming materials such as Silicone, FRP rods and metal end fittings. Some of them are a) Rheological characteristics of Silicone compound to determine curing characteristics b) Specific gravity and shore hardness after curing of Silicone c) Tensile and tear strength of Silicone compound d) Die penetration, Water absorption, density, BD voltage tests on FRP rods e) Tensile, microstructure, galvanisation tests on metal end fittings. Rheology Tensile testing Die Penetration Test BHEL polymer insulators have successfully undergone stringent design tests in conformance to IEC Annexure C1, at world renowned laboratories at KEMA, Holland Hydrophobicity test BHEL Polymer insulators undergo various routine tests and acceptance tests in conformance to IEC standards as well as Customer specific test requirements 1. Routine Electrical test 2. Mechanical Strength test 3. Thermal Mechanical Performance Test BHEL insulators successfully undergone 5000 Hrs Accelerated Aging Test at KEMA, Holland as per IEC 62217

6 Advantages of Silicone based Composite Insulators Superior Handling of Mechanical Shock Loads hence convenient to handle, transport and erect. Low weight ( < 80 % of conventional porcelain) easy handling Resistance to Vandal Damage Superior Dielectric Strength High Power arc resistance due to high thermal Withstand ability Excellent Pollution Performance (Durable & Regenerative Hydrophobicity) Flame resistant Shatter resistance Aerofoil design offering minimum Wind Resistance Low Leakage current and Power loss due to its high surface resistivity Regenerative Hydrophobicity o Wide range of service Temperatures (from 50 C to o 100 C) Interchangeability can easily replace existing Porcelain insulators Better Aesthetics Silicone Composite Insulators Vs Porcelain Insulators Weight ratio Porcelain to Silicone Composite insulator for Railway Traction applications is 3:1 W e i g h t r a t i o between Porcelain I n s u l a t o r a n d composite long rod i n s u l a t o r s f o r t r a n s m i s s i o n applications is more than 10:1 making c o m p o s i t e insulators an ideal insulator for lines with limited right of way
