-
These are the primary insulating units, typically made of porcelain, and are connected in strings to achieve the required voltage withstand.
-
These fittings connect the individual disc insulators to each other and to the supporting structures, allowing for flexibility and ease of assembly.
-
Various hardware components, such as clamps, yokes, and connecting links, are used to secure the insulators and conductors.
-
Porcelain is an excellent insulator, preventing the flow of current between the conductor and the supporting structure, thus preventing short circuits and electrical hazards.
-
Insulators support the weight of the conductors and withstand the mechanical stresses caused by wind, ice, and other environmental factors.
-
The design of the insulator provides a sufficient creepage distance to prevent surface leakage currents, especially in environments with high humidity or pollution.
-
The flexible nature of the suspension string helps to dampen vibrations and reduce conductor fatigue.
-
The most common material for disc insulators due to its excellent electrical and mechanical properties, as well as its resistance to environmental factors.
-
Typically made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
-
33kV disc insulators are widely used in overhead power lines to support conductors and prevent electrical faults.
-
They are also used in substations to insulate equipment and ensure safe operation of
