FAQ
What are the advantages of using toughened glass insulators?
Toughened glass insulators have become a preferred choice for high‑voltage transmission and distribution projects due to these key advantages
Excellent mechanical strength
Stable electrical insulation
Long service life
Easy inspection and maintenance
Environmentally stable
High reliability and recyclable
What is a glass insulator?
Glass insulator is a key component used in power transmission and distribution lines, substations, and electrical equipment. It is mainly made of toughened glass, providing electrical insulation and mechanical support for overhead conductors.
What types of glass insulators do you offer?
- Toughened glass suspension insulators (standard type, anti-fog type, aerodynamic type, two-alternating type, three-alternating type)
- AC and DC glass insulators for high-voltage and extra-high-voltage transmission lines
- Insulators for distribution lines, railway and power infrastructure applications
What are the advantages of glass insulators over ceramic or composite insulators?
- High mechanical strength and stable electrical performance
- Visible self-destruction for easy inspection and maintenance
- Excellent anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet, and weather resistance
- Long service life, suitable for long-term outdoor operation
What voltage levels are your glass insulators designed for?
Our products cover a full range from 10kV up to 800kV and above, suitable for distribution, transmission, substation, and EHV projects.
What is the mechanical failing load of your glass insulators?
Common ratings include 40kN, 70kN, 100kN, 120kN, 160kN, 210kN, 240kN, 300kN, 420kN, 550kN, etc. Custom loads are available for special projects.
How long is the service life of glass insulators?
Under normal operating and maintenance conditions, the service life is generally 30–50 years.
What is “self-destruction” of glass insulators? Is it normal?
Self-destruction refers to the spontaneous breaking of toughened glass due to internal stress or impurities. It is an inherent characteristic. Our products have a low and controllable self-destruction rate in line with IEC and national standards.
How to choose the right glass insulator?
- System voltage level
- Application: suspension, tension, dead-end, substation
- Environment: pollution level, altitude, humidity, coastal or industrial area
- Required mechanical load
Can glass insulators be used in heavy-pollution areas?
Yes. We recommend anti-pollution / anti-fog glass insulators with increased creepage distance, specially designed for coastal, industrial, and high-pollution environments.
Are they suitable for high-altitude areas?
Yes. We can provide customized products optimized for high-altitude conditions with enhanced insulation performance.
