Computational and experimental analysis of deformation of thermal expansion compensator for сast resin insulated busbar systems

This paper presents the results of the tensile test of the elastic element of the thermal expansion compensator for cast resin insulated busbar systems. The stiffness of the thermal expansion compensator was determined during test. A numerical analysis of the thermal expansion compensator was carried out and the results were compared to experimental data. The required quantity of thermal expansion compensators for the linear segment of the conductor cast resin insulated busbar was calculated.
