Insulators are devices installed between conductors at different potential points or between conductors and grounding components, capable of withstanding the effects of voltage and mechanical stresses. There are numerous types of insulators, each with varying shapes. Although different types of insulators have significant differences in structure and appearance, they are all composed of two main parts: the insulating component and the connecting hardware.
Insulators are specialized insulating controls that play a crucial role in overhead transmission lines. In earlier years, insulators were commonly used on utility poles. Over time, they evolved to be attached to one end of tall, high-voltage transmission towers, featuring many disk-shaped insulating bodies. Their purpose is to increase the creepage distance. Typically made of glass or ceramic, these are referred to as insulators.
