High-voltage transmission lines utilize strings of insulators connected in series in an articulated fashion. The quantity of insulators in the string is determined by the voltage class of the line, the construction of the supports, the type of insulator, and the operating conditions.

For lines at 35 kV, two PS insulators are typically installed in the string on wooden supports, and one or two additional ones on metal supports. The selection of the number of suspended insulators for 6-35 kV overhead lines is independent of the altitude above sea level. To avoid spontaneous detachment of the string, the rod is secured within the groove of the cap.

Note: Insulators PS-70, PS-70A, PS-70B, PS-70G, and PS-70D are now obsolete and are not produced. The modern standard designation is PS-70E.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the primary material used in PS-70E insulators?
The PS-70E series is made of toughened glass, which provides high mechanical strength and excellent electrical insulation properties for overhead transmission lines.
How many PS-70E insulators are required for a 35 kV line?
Typically, two insulators are used on wooden supports, while metal supports may require one or two additional units depending on the specific line configuration and operating conditions.
Are older PS-70D models still available?
No, models such as PS-70, PS-70A, and PS-70D are obsolete. The current modern replacement and standard production model is the PS-70E.
What does the "70" represent in the model name?
The "70" indicates the electromechanical failing load rating of 70 kN, which is a critical specification for ensuring the physical integrity of the transmission line string.
Does altitude affect the number of insulators needed for 6-35 kV lines?
For overhead lines within the 6-35 kV range, the selection of the number of suspended glass insulators is generally independent of the altitude above sea level.
