Ground wire glass insulator

Overview:

The earth wire insulator is composed of two parts: the insulator itself and the protective gap. The protective gap is formed by electrodes fastened to the insulator through bolts.

Ground wire insulators are used to support the ground wire in high-voltage overhead transmission lines. During normal operation of the line, the ground wire is insulated from the tower, reducing transmission energy loss and enabling ground wire carrier communication. When the ground wire voltage is set, gap discharge occurs, the ground wire is connected to the tower, and various protective functions are activated.

The ground wire insulators can be divided into suspended type and tension type according to their installation form and electrode structure, with mechanical and electrical failure load levels of 70kN and 100kN respectively.

The ground wire insulator upper and lower electrodes are pre-assembled before shipment, and the discharge gap has been adjusted and secured according to design specifications, eliminating the need for on-site assembly.
