Siemens Power Generation

SIMOTEC Composite Long-Rod Insulators:

A Result of Our Experience in Power Distribution, Especially

Know-How and
Experience: To Meet
Special Demands
For around 150 years
Siemens has been one of
the leading electrical
engineering companies.
Today, the spectrum of
supplies and services we
offer in the fields of power
generation and distribution
ranges from composite
insulators for switchgear
and transmission lines to
turnkey power plant projects. We set ourselves
high standards and also the
customers benefit from our
know-how: SIMOTEC
insulators are now available
as long-rod composite
insulators.

Tried and Tested:

SIMOTEC Insulators for
Overhead Transmission

Customized Insulators
of Typical Siemens
Quality: For Complete
Satisfaction

Numerous tests have demonstrated the enhanced

safety and reliability (even
in the presence of ozone
and UV radiation, at extreme temperatures, and
when exposed to high
mechanical loadings in the
event of storms or icing.
The extraordinarily high
resistance to fracture makes
them immune to vandalism.
This means there is no
interruption in electrical
power supply and thus no
loss of income.

With a standardized range

of fiber- reinforced epoxy
rods of different lengths
and variable shapes for
silicone shielding, we are
able to provide optimized
individual solutions as
quickly as possible for
any size of transmission
line and any type of mast
design. We keep strictly to
deadlines and offer short
delivery periods.

Furthermore, the low weight

and high inherent stability
of SIMOTEC composite
insulators reduce the effort
associated with the construction of towers. Foundations, transport and
erection also involve far less
expenditure and this considerably reduces system
costs.

And the more demanding

and complex your requirements are, the more you
benefit from our expertise
in all aspects of power
generation and distribution.
We channel this expertise
and ingenuity into our comprehensive consultancy
package.

Life cycle costs

Moreover, SIMOTEC
composite insulators save
on costs associated with
maintenance and cleaning.
Air pollution, acid rain and
sea salt have no effect on
the insulating properties of
the silicone.

Flexible Choice of Creepage

Distance with SC and HC Shed
Profiles
Thanks to the hydrophobic properties of the silicone SIMOTEC
composite insulators also exhibit
superior electrical performance
when exposed to heavy contamination. With an SC or HC shed
profile they satisfy the stringent
requirements of the creepage
distance classes specified in IEC
815. The desired creepage distance
can be fixed individually by the
number of small sheds used. Each
shed increases or reduces the
creepage distance by 60 mm
(2.36 inch). The creepage distance
of an insulator with an arcing
distance of 1000 mm (39.37 inch)
and SC profile can be as much as
2500 mm (98.43 inch), and with an
HC profile as much as 3600 mm
(141.73 inch).
With an SC profile the creepage
distance is equivalent to two-and-half
times the arcing distance. Each small
shed increases/reduces the creepage
distance by 60 mm (2.36 inch).

SIMOTEC Long-Rod Insulators:

A Long Service Life and High Operating Reliability

Epoxy rod

Every SIMOTEC long-rod insulator

comprises an expoxy rod reinforced
with acid-resistant ECR fiber glass.
Rod fractures as a result of the
ingress of aggressive substances are
now a thing of the past.
The forged and galvanized fittings
are securely and permanently joined
to the rod thanks to a precise,

Silicone shed

Metal fitting

low-stress shrink-fitting process

which avoids any damage to the rod
interior. Carefully optimized process
parameters and uncompromising
quality assurance guarantee an
extraordinarily long service life and
reliable operating performance under
all field conditions.
The most meticulous selection of
components and state-of-the-art
fabrication are also used when
applying the outer silicone shielding.
A primer ensures a permanent
chemical bond between the rod,
fittings and silicone. Prior to the
casting process it is sprayed onto
the rods with the aid of computer
control. The silicone is then applied
in one cast. It directly seals the rod
and the joint with the fittings.
Neither moisture nor other
extraneous matter can therefore
penetrate. Crevice corrosion which
could damage the joint between rod
and fitting is ruled out.

A primer ensures the permanent chemical

bond between rod, fittings and the silicone
which perfectly seals and envelopes the joint.

The design of the corona rings was

optimized by means of computer
simulation of the electrostatic fields.
No extreme field increase therefore
occurs at the joint between the
silicone and fittings. Up to a voltage
of around 170 kV SIMOTEC
insulators do not require corona
rings. For higher voltages we offer
customized versions.
