Types of High Voltage Insulators and How to Choose the Right One

There are many types of insulators, mainly: line post insulators (transmission lines and substations commonly used on the frame porcelain insulators), pin insulators (6KV-25kV distribution lines commonly used composite silicone insulators) rod insulators (composite tension insulators), in addition, the tension insulators and special insulators for the overhead grounding line, etc., are also divided into porcelain insulators and glass insulators.

In short, high-voltage insulators are divided into three categories, porcelain insulators, composite insulators, glass insulators, then what are the advantages and disadvantages between them,

First of all, these three insulators are the existing commonly used line insulation materials, they have good insulating properties, can withstand the long-term working voltage and transient overvoltage effects and will not occur discharge phenomenon. At the same time by adapting to different voltage levels also has sufficient mechanical strength, can withstand the conductor's self-weight, ice weight, wind pressure and other forces without damage. Reliable thermal stability in harsh environments, can withstand the effects of temperature changes, such as the West African rainforest in Africa, North Africa's high temperature desert. Russia's severe cold, but also good anti-fouling performance such as dealing with Mongolia's sandstorms,: can withstand the harsh environment pollution and sea spray salt spray effects (Southeast Asian coastal countries),

According to different construction environments to choose different materials of high-voltage insulators, standing in the high-voltage insulators manufacturer's point of view and over the years of experience in the market, the Asian countries in the transformation of rural power grids when choosing power accessories will be more inclined to ceramic Insulators, especially in Southeast Asian countries, such as Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries, and for Central Asian countries, in the city of electricity will choose composite silicone insulators, to the Americas, such as South American countries, Central American countries with ceramic insulators are more, while the African countries are more favored by composite silicone insulators. European countries such as Ukraine, France, the United Kingdom, and part of the northern African countries such as Algeria, Libya and Morocco, the more use of glass insulators.
