High-Quality U550B (240/380/600) Glass Insulator Manufacturers, Suppliers

  • As a representative of large-tonnage toughened glass insulators, the U550B, with its high mechanical strength of 550kN, long creepage distance of 620mm, and the unique self-shattering upon zero-value maintenance-free characteristic of glass insulators, has become the core choice for ±800kV UHV DC transmission lines. It is providing reliable insulation protection for major national energy strategic projects such as the "West-to-East Power Transmission" initiative.
  • Its long creepage distance of 620mm makes it particularly suitable for use in severely polluted, coastal, and industrial areas, effectively preventing the occurrence of "pollution flashover" accidents.
