Components & Construction

Suspension Glass Insulator Components

Structural Elements:

  • Dielectric: Toughened glass with specialized properties for harsh environments.
  • Cap: Hot-dip galvanized nodular or ductile malleable cast iron.
  • Pin: Hot-dip galvanized forged steel.
  • Assembly: Cap and pin are secured to the glass using high-strength aluminous cement.
  • Locking Device: Stainless steel or phosphor bronze split pin (W or R type).
  • Protection: Optional anti-corrosion zinc sleeve (sacrificial anode) for heavy pollution areas.

Performance & Design

Under long-term electrical stress, contaminants can trigger local arcs, leading to insulator surface carbonization (electrocorrosion). Our design provides sufficient creepage distance to disperse electric field strength, reducing the risk of local discharge and extending service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the "U120BL" model designation indicate?
"U" refers to a Disc Suspension Insulator, "120" indicates a rated mechanical failing load of 120kN, "B" signifies a Ball and Socket connection type, and "L" stands for the Long Steel Foot configuration.
2. Which international standards do these insulators follow?
The products are manufactured in accordance with IEC60383-1:1993, GB/T1001.1, and the connection structures comply with GB/T4056-2008 (IEC60120:1984) and BS 3288 part III.
3. What is the difference between U120BS and U120BL?
The primary difference is the structural height. The U120BS typically has a height of 127mm, while the U120BL has a height of 146mm. Both maintain a mechanical failing load of 120kN.
4. What type of locking pins are used for the coupling?
The insulators can be equipped with either W-pins or R-pins based on customer requirements. Unless specified otherwise, W-pins are the standard for the U120BL model.
5. Are these insulators suitable for high-pollution environments?
Yes. For heavily polluted areas, we recommend adding an anti-corrosion zinc sleeve (sacrificial anode) to the pins to enhance durability and prevent corrosion.
6. What material is the dielectric made of?
The dielectric is made of high-quality toughened glass, chosen for its excellent electrical properties and mechanical strength across various climatic conditions.
