Transmission Ceramic Insulators

Porcelain insulators are made from clay quartz or alumina and feldspar and are covered with a smooth glaze to shed water.

Transmission ceramic insulators.

Our offer includes solutions in isolation and protective equipment for use distribution and transmission of energy. An insulating material used in bulk to wrap electrical cables or other equipment is called insulation. Table 2 shows the typical number of insulators used by utilities in the u s. Insulators made from porcelain rich in alumina are used where high mechanical strength is a criterion.

Various types of insulators used for overhead transmission and distribution lines are described below. Insulators used for high voltage power transmission are made from glass porcelain or composite polymer materials. Lapp insulators produces high quality products for high voltage and railway electricity networks since 1930. Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves.

And canada in lightly polluted areas. We can t find products matching the selection. Get a quote for. Pin insulators are the earliest developed overhead insulator but are still commonly used in power networks up to 33 kv system.

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

All of which are manufactured under international standards such as iec and ansi among others. There are several types of insulators in transmission lines but the most commonly used are pin type suspension type strain insulator and shackle insulator. 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.

Post type insulators are used for medium voltage and low voltage transmission lines where insulators replace the cross arm. The part sec tion of a pin type insulator is shown in fig. Our entire interactive transmission catalog is also available for your viewing. 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.

This type was amongst the earliest designs and used for support ing line conductors. Pin type insulator can be one part two parts or three parts type depending upon application voltage.
