This paper presents an investigation on the physio-mechanical properties and AC breakdown voltage of the Kenaf paper in the presence of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) for transformers application. Kenaf bast fibers were used in order to produce the paper through the soda pulping process. The pulps were subjected to beating up to 12,000 revolutions, whereby the PVA was added to the pulps at a different weight percentage concentration up to 12%. Morphological study was carried out on the Kenaf paper based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The apparent density, Tensile Index (TI), Burst Index (BI), Tear Index (TeI), and AC breakdown voltage of the Kenaf paper were measured. It is found that the TI and BI of Kenaf paper can be slightly improved through the introduction of PVA. On other hand, the TeI of the Kenaf paper decreases with the increment of the PVA. The AC breakdown voltage of the Kenaf paper slightly increases with the increment of PVA weight percentage concentration.
本文介绍了一项关于在变压器应用中,在聚乙烯醇(PVA)存在的情况下红麻纸的物理力学性能和交流击穿电压的研究。使用红麻韧皮纤维通过苏打制浆工艺生产纸张。将纸浆进行打浆至12000转,在此过程中以不同重量百分比浓度(最高达12%)向纸浆中添加PVA。基于扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对红麻纸进行了形态学研究。测量了红麻纸的表观密度、拉伸指数(TI)、破裂指数(BI)、撕裂指数(TeI)和交流击穿电压。结果发现,通过引入PVA,红麻纸的TI和BI可略有提高。另一方面,红麻纸的TeI随着PVA的增加而降低。红麻纸的交流击穿电压随着PVA重量百分比浓度的增加而略有增加。
