Proposal of Implementation of Conductive Polymer Composites as High Temperature Detection Devices for LVSB’s

Abstract:

Polymeric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) materials or Conducive Polymer Composites (CPC) display a certain characteristic of change in conductivity with temperature, which is unique to this kind of materials and is not found in any other electrical conductor. This paper recognizes the problem of formation of hotpots in low voltage switchboards and an economical and effective method to prevent this undesirable situation by the use of CPC’s. The tests done on samples and the obtained results bolster the proposition of using these materials as suitable temperature detection devices. A conceptual design of such a device was developed using Pro/E and is described in this paper. Current and future progress regarding the industrial potential of this device is also mentioned.
