Outdoor composite insulator is a type of electrical insulator used in high-voltage power transmission and distribution systems. It is designed to support and isolate electrical conductors while withstanding environmental conditions such as rain, UV radiation, pollution, and temperature fluctuations. Composite insulators are increasingly popular due to their lightweight, durability, and superior performance compared to traditional porcelain or glass insulators.
International Standards:
IEC 61109, IEC 62217, IEC 61462, IEEE 1523, ANSI C29.11.
Regional and National Standards:
BS EN 61466 (UK), DIN EN 61466 (Germany), IS 14493 (India), GB/T 19519 (China).
Testing and Compliance:
Mechanical load tests, electrical tests, pollution tests, and aging tests.
Third-party certifications (e.g., KEMA, CESI).
The construction of an outdoor composite insulator is designed to provide excellent electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to environmental conditions. It typically consists of several key components, each serving a specific function. Below is a detailed breakdown of the construction of a composite insulator:
1. Core (Load-Bearing Component)
Material: The core is typically made of fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) or epoxy resin-impregnated fiberglass. Provides high mechanical strength to withstand tensile, compressive, and bending loads.
2. Weather Sheds (Outer Housing)
Material: Made of silicone rubber or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Protects the core from environmental factors such as UV radiation, moisture, and pollution.
3. End Fittings (Metal Attachments)
Material: Typically made of galvanized steel, aluminum, or ductile iron. Provides a secure connection between the insulator and the conductor (at the energized end) and the support structure (at the grounded end).
Rated Voltage (kV):
The maximum system voltage the insulator is designed to withstand.
Creepage Distance (mm/kV):
The total surface distance along the insulator between the energized and grounded ends.
Determines the insulator's ability to withstand pollution and wet conditions.
Dry Arcing Distance (mm):
The shortest distance through air between the energized end and the grounded end.
Critical for preventing flashovers under dry conditions.
Impulse Withstand Voltage (kV):
The insulator's ability to withstand lightning or switching surges.
Power Frequency Withstand Voltage (kV):
The insulator's ability to withstand continuous operating voltage and temporary overvoltages.
6. Partial Discharge Level (pC):
Measures the level of partial discharges, which can indicate insulation defects.
Corona Rings:
Used in high-voltage applications to reduce corona discharge and prevent damage to the insulator.
Anti-Bird Devices:
Installed to prevent birds from causing damage or contamination.
Tracking and Erosion Resistance:
Silicone rubber sheds are formulated to resist tracking (surface degradation) and erosion caused by electrical discharges.
Transmission Lines:
Suspension and tension insulators for overhead lines.
Substations:
Hollow core insulators for bushings, circuit breakers, and disconnect switches.
Distribution Lines:
Line post insulators for supporting conductors.
Railway Electrification:
Overhead catenary systems.
Renewable Energy:
Wind and solar power installations.
Use wooden boxes and plastic packaging to protect the products from physical damage, moisture, and environmental pollutants.
Delivered worldwide via sea, air, or land freight. Custom shipping solutions are available based on customer requirements.
