10 Kv Suspension Insulator Strain Insulator

Suspension Insulator Applications:

They are mainly used in the area where there is a need for high voltage:

• Generators
• Transformers
• Electric motors
• Railway lines
• Electric poles, etc.

Suspension Insulator Features:

• The types of suspension insulator is economical compared to the pin type insulators when we have a high voltage overhead transmission line.
• Each insulator disc in a suspension insulator is designed to work for 11KV. However, for any operating voltage, we can use a string of insulators. For instance, six discs are necessary for a 66 kV transmission line.
• If one of the units in a string fails, we need to replace only that unit/disc rather than the whole series of disks in the string.
• Mechanical tensions on the suspension insulator are less as a flexible suspension string keeps the line and can move easily.
• As the conductors carrying current and are suspended from a tower or supporting structure by suspension series of suspension insulators, the position and height of the conductor are always lower than the total height of the tower or supporting structure. As a result, the conductors are safe from lightning and protected by the tower.
