AI Technical Summary
Existing high-voltage tanks for electrical distribution networks face challenges in maintaining mechanical integrity and electrical insulation due to dielectric stresses, particularly at voltages above 24 kV, with metal tie rods causing arcing and insufficient mechanical resistance from thermoplastic or thermosetting materials, and the need for environmentally friendly alternatives to SF6 gas.
A tank with a reinforced mechanical integrity design using an electrically insulating reinforcement strap made of woven fibers like glass or aramid, connecting attachment points on the inner panels to prevent deformation under gas pressure, replacing metal tie rods and allowing use of gases like pressurized air.
Enhances mechanical resistance and reduces arcing risks while enabling operation at high voltages with environmentally friendly gases, providing efficient electrical insulation and cost-effective installation.
