Insulators play a essential protective role in overhead power line systems by preventing complete breakdown and other electrical faults
Moisture resistance
Insulators are usually designed to have good resistance to prevent rain, typhoon, etc. from affecting optic fiber fitting. This reduces the risk of current leakage or wet shorts caused by humid environments.
High temperature resistance
Insulator materials are able to withstand high temperatures and avoid insulation damage due to overheating, thereby reducing the possibility of breakdown. Quality is guaranteed by using high-quality PVC raw materials instead of recycled plastic. Bird flight diverters and insulator ties produced by our company are good examples.
Elastic strength
Insulators need to have sufficient bending strength to withstand external forces such as wind load and ice load to prevent electrical failures caused by physical damage.
