Insulators are devices installed between conductors at different potentials 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 insulators of different types have significant differences in structure and appearance, they are both primarily composed of insulating components and connecting hardware.
Insulators are specialized insulation 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 include many disc-shaped insulators hanging at one end of tall, high-voltage transmission towers. These are designed to increase the creepage distance. Typically made of glass or ceramic, they are referred to as insulators.
