High-Quality 100KN U100BL Suspension Glass insulators Ball and socket type Manufacturer, Supplier

U100B glass insulator has excellent electrical performance and mechanical strength. Its high insulation performance can effectively prevent current leakage, strong weather resistance, and is not easily affected by temperature changes and ultraviolet radiation. It can maintain stable insulation effect even after long-term use. In addition, the glass insulator has smooth surface, is not easy to accumulate dirt, and has good self-cleaning property, which reduces the maintenance demand. At the same time, it has a long service life and high anti-aging capability, and is suitable for the harsh environment of high-voltage transmission lines.

Suspension Insulator Components

Structural diagram

Suspension insulators consist of:

  • Dielectric: Toughened glass shaped for specific environmental functionality.
  • 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.

The insulator features a stainless steel or phosphor bronze locking device (split pin). Pins can also be protected with an anti-corrosion zinc sleeve for heavy pollution environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does the "U100BL" model designation mean?
"U" refers to a disc suspension insulator, "100" indicates a rated mechanical failing load of 100kN, "B" signifies a ball and socket coupling, and "L" stands for a long steel foot.
Q2: Which international standards do these insulators comply with?
They are manufactured in accordance with IEC60383-1, GB/T1001.1 for performance, and GB/T4056 (IEC60120) and BS 3288 part III for connection structures.
Q3: What is the creepage distance of the U100BL?
The standard creepage distance for this model is 320mm, designed to reduce the risk of local discharge and extend the life of the insulator.
Q4: What materials are used in the construction?
The insulator consists of a toughened glass dielectric, a hot-dip galvanized cast iron cap, and a forged steel pin, all assembled with high-grade aluminous cement.
Q5: Can I choose the type of locking pin?
Yes, depending on your requirements, the locking pin can be either a W-pin or an R-pin. If no specific instruction is provided, a W-pin is standard for the U100BL.
Q6: Is this insulator suitable for high-pollution areas?
Yes. For lines in heavily polluted environments, we highly recommend the version with a sacrificial zinc sleeve on the pin to provide enhanced anti-corrosion protection.
