Abstract

The diffusion of greases in organic insulation materials, which is the core parameter of the electrical and mechanical long-term behavior of the interface, is studied. The diffusion of grease depends both on the solid organic insulation material and on the grease. The highest diffusion can be observed by the combination of a silicone paste and silicone rubber. However, for silicone rubber there are low and no diffusion lubricants existing.
The diffusion in EPDM, EP and XLPE is commonly much lower. In EP and XLPE, no type-dependency of the grease can be observed. With the knowledge of the diffusion behavior, the desired interface properties can be achieved for the whole lifespan of the apparatus.
