China U240B (170/280/400) Glass Insulator Manufacturer, Manufacturers

The U240B glass insulator is a high-strength toughened glass insulator, widely used in medium, high, and ultra-high voltage overhead transmission lines for suspending and insulating conductors. It can also be used for insulating and supporting busbars and electrical equipment in power plants and substations.

  • Its core functions are to support the conductors, prevent current from flowing to the towers, withstand dynamic mechanical loads, and endure various severe weather conditions and voltage surges.
  • The U240B is primarily designed for use in AC transmission lines.
