Transmission Ceramic Insulators

However the majority of post insulators.

Transmission ceramic insulators. There are several types of insulators in transmission lines but the most commonly used are pin type suspension type strain insulator and shackle insulator. Insulators used for high voltage power transmission are made from glass porcelain or composite polymer materials. In a 11 kv system we generally use one part type insulator where whole pin insulator is one piece of properly shaped porcelain or glass. Our entire interactive transmission catalog is also available for your viewing.

Various types of insulators used for overhead transmission and distribution lines are described below. We can t find products matching the selection. The part sec tion of a pin type insulator is shown in fig. An insulating material used in bulk to wrap electrical cables or other equipment is called insulation.

All of which are manufactured under international standards such as iec and ansi among others. Get a quote for. And canada in lightly polluted areas. Insulators made from porcelain rich in alumina are used where high mechanical strength is a criterion.

Our offer includes solutions in isolation and protective equipment for use distribution and transmission of energy. Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves. This type was amongst the earliest designs and used for support ing line conductors. Our insulators for transmission lines are produced in accordance with international standards and the respective customer specification for applications in the area of energy distribution and transmission in mechanical classes up to 400.

We offer suspension line post braced post bell equivalents and custom insulator assemblies. Mps offers a wide variety of polymer and glass transmission insulators for your power and utility construction needs. There is a. Table 2 shows the typical number of insulators used by utilities in the u s.

It provides the most economic simple and efficient method of conductor and bus bar support for voltages up to and including 33 kv. Porcelain insulators are made from clay quartz or alumina and feldspar and are covered with a smooth glaze to shed water. Pin insulators are the earliest developed overhead insulator but are still commonly used in power networks up to 33 kv system. The term insulator is also used more specifically to refer to insulating supports used to attach electric power distribution or transmission.

As the name suggests the pin type insulator is secured to the cross arm on the pole. Post type insulators figure 4 composite line post insulators.
