Investigation of Structural, Morphological, Resistivity of Novel Electrical Insulator: Industrial Wastes

Abstract

In the present study, the effect of china clays on the sintering, strength and dielectric behavior of electrical ceramic fly ash/china clay (FA/CC) composite insulator is investigated. The different composition of samples containing different china clay (CC) contents of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 % are prepared using the uniaxial pressure technique applying 10 MPa pressure. At 1200 °C, for the composition having 40 wt% china clays, the maximum resistivity is calculated and is 39.5 × 107 Ωm. The composite is highly competence with china clays-based insulators. Further, the prepared composite is also analysed using different characterization technique such as x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive analysis, fourier transformation infra-red spectroscopy, dielctric, and thermo gravimetric analysis. Frequency dielectric value of the composite is estimated at room temperature in the frequency range of 1-500 kHz at room temperature. According to the resistivity and dielectric properties, the composite has enormous potential for the electrical insulator application.

Investigation of Structures of Sintered Processed Fly Ash Materials: Resources of Industrial Wastes

“…There are numerous characteristic behaviour of ceramics i.e., mechanical strength, high-power dielectric strength, and corrosion resistance. Electrical insulator can be classified on the basis of their purpose and insulation properties value [14,15]. In Today scenarios, there is growing demand for low cost insulator in the area of electrical engineering and caused by the importance of electric energy in modern society.…”
