POST INSULATORS
PRODUCT
Post insulators are used as supports for bus-bars in transformer sub-station yards, in switchgear as support for breakers, and for capacitor banks.
These insulators are generally subjected to bending, torsion and compression forces in service. In some cases they may also be used as jumper loop insulators for horizontal, upright or underhung installation. Depending on the installation, we offer several options of end fittings. Designs according to IEC, ANSI and other standards or to customer specification.
Post insulators are made in ceramic material but we also offer insulators in composite material for special applications.
TYPICAL TECHNICAL FEATURES ARE:
Solid core and puncture proof design.
High mechanial strength.
Made of aluminious oxide ceramic.
Flexible creepage distance for different pollution levels.
High self-cleaning surface properties.
Composite insulator types are tested according to the relevant standards for the product category.
