OVERHAED LINE INSULATORS
The insulators for overhead lines provide insulation
to the power conductor from ground.
The insulators are connected to the cross arm of the
tower and the power conductor passes through the
clamp of the insulator.
The insulators have high mechanical strength, high
electrical strength, high insulation resistance. They
are free from impurities and moisture and can
withstand the flashover phenomenon.
TYPES OF INSULATORS
1) PIN TYPE INSULATORS
Pin type insulator consists of a single or a
multiple units. They are secured to the cross
arm of the pole.
Pin type insulator can be used only up to 33kv.
Beyond operating voltage of 33kv, the pin type
insulator become too bulky and hence
uneconomical.
2) SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS:
