As energy storage systems, high-frequency inverters, high-power charging equipment, and smart distribution systems move toward higher voltage, higher current, and greater power density, electrical insulation, thermal management, corrosion resistance, and structural safety become increasingly important in compact equipment designs.
Near high-frequency magnetic components and high-current busbars, some conductive parts may create unnecessary current paths, increasing the risk of induced currents, localized heating, and added insulation complexity. Outdoor equipment must also withstand long-term exposure to humidity, salt spray, and temperature changes. Selected high-performance engineering plastics can provide electrical insulation, non-magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, lower weight, and functional integration where these properties are needed.
Link-Upon combines material application experience with precision manufacturing capabilities. Materials and components are evaluated according to electrical requirements, temperature, media exposure, and mechanical load, with support from material selection and prototype validation through stable production for next-generation power and energy equipment.
Engineering plastic components are used in renewable energy, power transmission and distribution, energy storage, and end-use electrical equipment. Where insulation, corrosion resistance, weight reduction, or structural integration is needed, they offer added design flexibility for power and energy systems.
Solid-state transformers and multilevel high-voltage inverters operate at elevated voltages in compact spaces. Near high-frequency magnetic components or high-current busbars, metal fasteners and other conductive parts may create induced-current paths, increasing localized heating and EMC design complexity.
Engineering plastics of confirmed grades and application conditions, with suitable electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and flame-retardant performance, can be used for standoffs, insulating bushings, and selected fasteners. These components can combine insulation, positioning, and structural support in a single part.
Under high humidity, salt spray, and outdoor exposure, metal parts may face corrosion and galvanic-corrosion risks if material selection, surface treatment, or dissimilar-metal combinations are inappropriate.
Selected fluoropolymers offer low moisture absorption, chemical resistance, and good weatherability. Depending on application conditions, they can be evaluated for cable clamps, insulating components, bushings, and other non-primary load-bearing parts to reduce corrosion and moisture-related risks.
Insulating components in large oil-immersed transformers and grid reactors must withstand the continuous operating temperatures specified for the equipment, as well as elevated temperatures at localized hot spots.
Selected glass-fiber-reinforced PPS and PEI grades can be evaluated for dimensional stability, chemical compatibility, and mechanical performance based on the insulating medium, temperature, and load conditions.
Insulating and support components around high-frequency power-electronic modules must balance dielectric properties, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical performance.
PTFE and selected fluoropolymers offer relatively low dielectric constant and dielectric loss. Depending on operating frequency, temperature, part design, and mechanical load, they can be evaluated for certain high-frequency insulation, RF support, and low-loss applications, helping reduce dielectric losses in specific high-frequency designs.
