Chamber for thermo-mechanical tests of high voltage insulators

Standard thermo-mechanical tests of high voltage insulators enable the assessment of their resistance to a mechanical load that occurs during their operation and maintenance and take the influence of changes in working temperature into account. A device with a thermal chamber for such tests has been designed and manufactured at the Institute for Sustainable Technologies-National Research Institute in Radom. The device enables prolonged tests to be carried out on high voltage, support and linear insulators in the temperature range of -60 to +60 degrees C with the use of tensile and bending loads, according to binding norms and standards.
