Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of voltage transformer technology, and more specifically, to a flashover-proof insulating sleeve for voltage transformer terminals. Background Technology
[0002] Voltage transformers are core equipment used for high-voltage measurement, metering, and relay protection in power systems. Their terminals, as the hub connecting high-voltage lines and secondary equipment, directly bear the influence of system operating voltage and external environment. During long-term operation, the insulation performance of the terminals exposed to air is easily corroded by environmental factors such as pollution, humidity, salt spray, and dust, leading to a decrease in insulation strength between terminals or between terminals and grounding bodies. Especially under conditions of severe pollution or high humidity, the surface dirt layer absorbs moisture and forms conductive channels, which may cause partial discharge or even flashover, resulting in equipment insulation breakdown, malfunction, or power outage accidents, seriously threatening the safe operation of the power grid.
[0003] Traditional protective measures often involve regular cleaning, applying anti-flashover coatings, or installing ordinary insulating covers. Ordinary insulating covers are mostly made of hard plastic or rubber, which are prone to aging and cracking. In corrosive environments such as salt spray and acid rain, the materials are easily degraded. Especially in extreme climates or complex working conditions, the risk of partial discharge is relatively high, further reducing the reliability of insulation. Utility Model Content

The outer walls of the arc-shaped clamps are fixedly connected to guide rods arranged parallel to the screws, one end of which extends to the outside of the ceramic tube.

[0015] 2. By setting a locking mechanism, it is easy to lock or loosen the conductive post of the terminal block by rotating the screw during use, so as to facilitate the connection with the conductive post of the terminal block on the voltage transformer terminal head.
