Suspension Insulator Components

Components Diagram

Suspension insulators consist of:

  • Dielectric made of toughened glass with specific properties for diverse environments.
  • Hot-dip galvanized nodular or ductile malleable cast iron cap.
  • Hot-dip galvanized forged steel pin.
  • Aluminous cement assembly for superior thermomechanical strength.
  • Stainless steel or phosphor bronze locking device (split pin).
  • Optional anti-corrosion zinc sleeve (sacrificial anode) for heavy pollution areas.

Glass Insulator Shell Cross-section

Under long-term electrical stress, contaminants can trigger local arcs. Our design provides sufficient creepage distance to disperse electric field strength, reducing electrocorrosion risk and extending service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the U120BS designation stand for?
The "U" indicates a disc suspension insulator, "120" refers to the 120kN rated mechanical load, "B" denotes the ball and socket connection, and "S" stands for the short steel foot design.
Which international standards do these insulators comply with?
Our products are manufactured in strict accordance with IEC60383-1:1993, GB/T1001.1, and BS 3288 part III, ensuring global compatibility and safety.
What is the advantage of using toughened glass?
Toughened glass provides excellent dielectric properties and high mechanical strength, allowing the insulator to operate stably under extreme climatic conditions and long-term electrical stress.
Can these insulators be used in highly polluted environments?
Yes, we recommend using the optional anti-corrosion zinc sleeve (sacrificial anode) on the pins for installations in heavily polluted areas to prevent corrosion and extend life.
What locking pins are available for the coupling?
We offer both W-pin and R-pin locking devices made of stainless steel or phosphor bronze. Unless specified otherwise, the U120BS model is supplied with a W-pin.
How does creepage distance impact performance?
Adequate creepage distance (320mm for U120BS) helps disperse electric field strength, which minimizes the risk of local discharges and surface carbonization caused by contaminants.
