Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a thermochromic indicator for a cable accessory. The thermochromic indicator comprises at least one thermochromic layer comprising a liquid crystal material adapted to become colorless transparent in response to a temperature of the cable accessory exceeding a threshold temperature. In this way, the stability of temperature measurement using thermochromic materials is improved and thus its life extends.
Abstract:
A surge arrester (100) and a method for manufacturing the surge arrester (100), the surge arrester (100) comprises a preassembled active part (110) extending in a longitudinal direction (Y), and a separately produced flexible housing (120) defining a bore (121) in the longitudinal direction (Y) and having an opening at an end surface (126) of the flexible housing (120), the flexible housing (120) is arranged surrounding the active part (110) via the bore (121) and in contact with the active part (110), the contact causes a deformation of the flexible housing (120) in a circumferential direction (C), and the deformation generates a pressure applied on the active part (110) along a radial direction (R).
Abstract:
An electrically insulating composite material is disclosed. The material includes a first portion of a fiber and a second portion of a fibrid, the fiber including a pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber and the fibrid including an aromatic polyamide fibrid. An electrical product including the electrically insulating composite material is also disclosed. A method and an apparatus for producing an electrically insulating composite material are also disclosed. The produced material provides decent electrical properties while keeping the cost low, and thus enabling its use in various electrical applications.
