Glass Disc Suspension Insulator

A glass disc suspension insulator is a type of electrical insulator used in overhead power transmission and distribution lines. They are designed to support the weight of the conductors and provide insulation between the conductors and the supporting structures, such as towers or poles. These insulators are made from toughened or tempered glass, which is lightweight, has good insulating properties, and is resistant to corrosion.are a type of electrical insulator commonly used in high-voltage transmission lines to support and insulate the conductors from the supporting structures. these insulators are designed to effectively prevent electrical leakage and maintain the integrity of the electrical transmission system, even in challenging weather conditions.

Product Advantages

  • (1) High mechanical strength, 1 to 2 times higher than the mechanical strength of porcelain insulators.
  • (2) The performance is stable and not easy to age, and the electrical performance is higher than that of porcelain insulator.
  • (3) Fewer production processes, short production cycle, easy to mechanized, automated production, high production efficiency
  • (4) Due to the transparency of glass insulators, it is easy to find small cracks and various internal defects or damage during external inspection.
  • (5) When the glass body of the insulator has various defects, the glass will automatically break, which is called “self-breaking”. After the insulator is broken, the iron cap residual hammer still maintains a certain mechanical strength suspended on the line, the line is still
  • (6) It can continue to operate. When line inspectors patrol the line, it is easy to find self-broken insulators, and timely replacement of new insulators. Because the glass insulator has this “self-breaking” characteristic, it is online
  • (7) In the process of road operation, it is not necessary to carry out preventive test on the insulator, which brings great convenience to the operation.
  • (8) Light weight of glass insulators. Due to the manufacturing process and other reasons, the “self-breaking” rate of glass insulators is high, which is the fatal shortcoming of glass insulators.

  • 1. What is a glass insulator?

    Glass insulators are a common insulating material in power systems, mainly used in transmission lines and transformer equipment to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment.

  • 2. What are the causes of the glass insulator self-explosion?

    1.The internal stress balance is disrupted: This may be due to the nickel sulfide (NiS) introduced during the manufacturing process causing stress imbalances during the phase transition.

     

    2.The glass contains impurities and nodules: If these impurities and nodules are distributed in the inner tension layer, it may self-explode in a relatively short time (30 to 60 days).

     

    3.Factors in operation: including serious surface area contamination, partial discharge caused by moisture or heat caused by single piece creepage, resulting in insulation decline.

     

    4.External causes: such as pollution and temperature difference changes, may lead to excessive leakage current on the surface of the insulator, resulting in part of the dry belt, when the dry belt location of the air breakdown, the arc may eat the glass umbrella skirt, resulting in self-explosion

  • 3. What is the temperature resistance of glass insulators?

    The temperature resistance of glass insulator is one of the important indexes to measure its quality. Generally speaking, the high temperature resistance of glass insulators is more prominent, and the low temperature resistance is relatively weak.

    Under normal conditions of use, the high temperature resistance of glass insulators is generally above 200 ° C, and the low temperature resistance is usually about -40 ° C. In particular, it should be pointed out that when the glass insulator is used for a long time under high temperature conditions, its quality may be affected to a certain extent, and it needs to be replaced in time.
