Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to electric insulation with a polyolefin base for medium and high voltage from about 10 kV up. In insulation of this type the formation of so-called water trees is to be prevented on the one hand and on the other hand, the dielectric losses are to be kept as low as possible. For this purpose it is provided that silicic acid prepared in the following manner is added to the insulation: SiO2-containing mineral substances are melted with additions of aluminum oxide, boron oxide and carbonates and/or oxides of alkali and earth-alkali metals to form a homogeneous glass phase; from the glass melt, glass bodies with a large surface are made; the glass bodies are subjected to a leaching process with mineral acid; the porous SiO2 bodies produced are washed and dried and optionally milled. The electric insulation according to the invention is particularly well suited for use in cables and wires.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
An electric insulation which is suitable for use with cables and wires carrying medium and high voltage from about 10 kV, and which is formed of a polyolefin base and an additive of 0.05 to 10% by weight silicic acid having a particle size of up to 50 microns or an agglomerate size of up to 100 microns for retarding water trees, wherein the silicic acid is prepared by a process comprising: (a) melting mineral substances containing SiO 2 with additives of aluminum oxide, boron oxide or carbonates and/or oxides of alkali and earth alkali metals, to form a homogenous glass melt, (b) preparing particulate glass bodies from the glass melt, the glass bodies being finely divided and as a composite having a large surface area, (c) leaching the glass bodies with mineral acid, and (d) washing and drying the porous SiO 2 bodies formed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
An electric insulation which is suitable for use with cables and wires carrying medium and high voltage from about 10 kV, and which is formed of a polyolefin base and an additive of 0.05 to 10% by weight silicic acid having a particle size of up to 50 microns or an agglomerate size of up to 100 microns for retarding water trees, wherein the silicic acid is prepared by a process comprising: (a) melting mineral substances containing SiO 2 with additives of aluminum oxide, boron oxide or carbonates and/or oxides of alkali and earth alkali metals, to form a homogenous glass melt, (b) preparing particulate glass bodies from the glass melt, the glass bodies being finely divided and as a composite having a large surface area, (c) leaching the glass bodies with mineral acid, and (d) washing and drying the porous SiO 2 bodies formed.
