Glass Insulator Manufacturer

The primary function of insulators is to achieve electrical insulation and mechanical fixation, for which various electrical and mechanical performance requirements are specified. For instance, under the influence of the specified operating voltage, lightning overvoltage, and internal overvoltage, no breakdown or surface flashover should occur; under the specified long-term and short-term mechanical loads, no damage or destruction should take place; after long-term operation under specified mechanical, electrical loads, and various environmental conditions, no significant degradation should be observed; the metal fittings of the insulator should not produce any noticeable corona discharge under operating voltage to avoid interference with radio or television reception. Since insulators are widely used, their connecting metal fittings are also required to be interchangeable. Additionally, technical standards for insulators demand various electrical, mechanical, physical, and environmental condition tests based on different models and usage conditions to verify their performance and quality.
