The Use of FRP Fence in Substation

The utilization of solid composites is one of the most emerging development patterns worldwide. Among all these serious materials, FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) is the most ideal alternative because of its internal and external efficacy. Compared to traditionally developed materials such as steel and aluminum, FRP has many contained preferences. 

Fiberglass fences are cheaper, lighter in weight and require some investment to build. These fences require no additional consideration or support, are extremely easy to handle, heat and fire resistant.

From most examinations, the main advantageous position of FRP materials over their traditional competitors is their long-term existence without support. Most importantly, composites are climate-friendly. The properties of composites, such as fiberglass reinforcement, can be modified according to the prerequisites of the business.

Substation

As communities grow, the need for larger substations increases. Traditionally, an increasing number of substations require expanded fenced areas. The cost of purchasing more land can be high and availability can be limited. In addition, conventional materials require grounding of the fence, which can be very expensive. Because of these high costs and limitations, substation owners have begun to look for alternatives to substation fencing.

FRP products can be used to construct shielded and non-conductive security fences. The main advantage of FRP materials over traditional metals in this application is that these products are not electrically conductive; therefore, substations are able to be expanded without the need for more land. In addition, the material does not have to be grounded like a traditional metal fence. Users will also benefit from widely appreciated benefits such as: non-magnetic, invisible to RF and microwave transmissions, non-conductive and non-heat conducting, corrosion resistant, and impact resistant.

The project led to the development of a new product: a composite fencing solution. Applications include: electrical equipment enclosures, substation enclosures, duct and wall fan screens, protective barriers, transformer cages, etc.

1. Non-corrosive properties

FRP is completely unaffected by consumption and scratch area. More importantly, columns and shafts made of FRP design are therefore a robust choice for development. In addition to consumption, mechanical columns made of glass fiber are unaffected by grating components such as moisture and dangerous modern compounds.

2. High strength and durability

These modern posts made of FRP fencing are of high quality and sturdiness. Considering these two elements, FRP offers additional advantages over traditional materials such as steel and aluminum. Posts made from this interesting material add enough unity to help heavy mechanical applications.

3. Easy to install

FRP pultruded columns and steel bars are difficult to introduce because of their lightweight highlights. With the production of FRP, modified alternatives can be accessed. Subsequently, the ideal material thickness, weight and structure can be selected. Thus, it is simple to combine FRP beams and columns in complex developments. Fiber-reinforced composites offer amazing unity weight ratios beyond that of different materials, making items easy to handle and introduce.
