Preparation of PI porous fiber membrane for recovering oil-paper insulation structure

PI fiber insulation paper has excellent insulation and heat resistance, which can replace traditional insulation paper to provide a new high-performance material. In this paper, we adopt a two-step method to synthesize PI, that is, firstly synthesize polyamic acid, and then perform electrospinning and thermal imidization to prepare PI porous fiber membrane. The test results show that the breakdown field strength of the PI porous film is 50 kV/mm. Further research shows that the insulation structure has the characteristics of continuous multiple breakdown. When the fiber film is repeatedly broken down to 25 times at the same point, the field strength of each breakdown of the fiber film changes between 40 and 55 kV/mm, and the average breakdown field strength is 53 kV/mm. Nano-Al(2)O(3)was introduced into the fiber membrane by in situ polymerization. The breakdown field strength of the composite fiber film can reach 74.89 kV/mm after doping 2 wt% nano-Al2O3, which is higher than that of the pure film. At the same time, this kind of fiber paper also has repeatable breakdown characteristics, and the breakdown voltage distribution width of multiple breakdown is reduced. This characteristic provides the maintenance free characteristic of DC over-voltage for the insulation structure composed of this fiber paper, and can improve the service life of transformer under DC over-voltage such as lightning stroke.
