In the era of rapid development of modern science and technology, electrical equipment has become an indispensable part of people's daily life and industrial production. In order to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment and extend its service life, various electrical insulation materials are widely used. Among them, fiberglass sleeve (Fiberglass Sleeving), as an important electrical insulation material, is widely used in the insulation protection of electrical equipment.

Fiberglass Sleeving: An Essential Component for Protecting Electrical Equipment

1. Basic concepts of fiberglass casing

Fiberglass sleeving is a tubular insulation material made of fiberglass. It is usually made of fiberglass silk fabric after special treatment and has excellent insulation properties and high temperature resistance. The inner diameter, wall thickness and length of fiberglass sleeves can be customized according to specific needs to meet the insulation protection requirements of different electrical equipment.


2. Characteristics of fiberglass casing

  • Insulating properties

Glass fiber casing has excellent insulation properties and can effectively prevent the flow of current and avoid safety accidents such as short circuits and leakage in electrical equipment. Because fiberglass itself has high insulating properties, fiberglass sleeves perform well in the insulation protection of electrical equipment.

  • High temperature resistance

Glass fiber casing has excellent high temperature resistance and can work stably for a long time in high temperature environments without deformation or aging. This makes fiberglass sleeves very suitable for insulation protection of high-temperature electrical equipment, such as motors, transformers, etc.

  • Corrosion resistance

Glass fiber casing has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances, ensuring the long-term stable operation of electrical equipment in harsh environments.

  • Soft performance

Fiberglass sleeves have good softness and can be bent and folded according to the shape and size of electrical equipment for easy installation and use.


3. Application areas of fiberglass casing

  • Motor

Glass fiber bushings are widely used in various types of motors, such as AC motors, DC motors, etc. It can be used as an insulating protective material for motors to effectively prevent safety accidents such as short circuits and leakage of motors.

  • Transformer

Glass fiber bushings are also widely used in various types of transformers, such as dry-type transformers, oil-immersed transformers, etc. It can be used as an insulating protective material for transformer coils to ensure the safe operation of transformers in high-temperature and high-voltage environments.

  • Cable

Glass fiber casing is also often used in the insulation protection of cables to effectively prevent cable short circuits, leakage and other safety accidents and protect the safe operation of electrical systems.
