Abstract

This article contains the results of electric strength measuring of board composite materials and electrical insulators. It describes and briefly specifies the measured materials, i.e., the composites based on Glass, Kevlar and Carbon fiber. The composite electrical insulators are Kartit, Glasstextite and Textite. The measurement description shows the measurement system diagram and parameters of the used testing high-voltage source. The evaluation suggests the possibility of using composite materials as electromobiles' construction components which require specific electrical properties.

Highlights

  • The electric strength is a parameter that characterizes electric-insulating materials

  • New requirements for automobile construction parts emerged during the electromobile development in the research laboratories of the Institute of Progressive Technology for the Automotive Industry. This is applied to the electromobile chassis

  • Function parts and battery boxes are connected to the chassis

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The electric strength is a parameter that characterizes electric-insulating materials. New requirements for automobile construction parts emerged during the electromobile development in the research laboratories of the Institute of Progressive Technology for the Automotive Industry. This is applied to the electromobile chassis. To achieve a higher consistency and lower automobile weight, it is important to simplify and merge certain construction elements. In our case, it is the unification of the chassis and battery boxes into one function unit. Knowledge of the electric strength of the above-mentioned materials is important for determining the safety of electric vehicle components. The reason is to reach the maximum possible safety for electromobile operation
