Professional U160BLP Toughed Glass Insulator for High Voltage Transmission and Distribution

Product Overview

● Model: U160BLP

• U Refers To Disc Suspension Insulator

• B For Ball And Socket Type

• L Stands For Long Steel Foot

• P Stands For Anti-pollution Type

● Type: Anti-Pollution Or Anti-Fog Profile Toughened Suspension Type

● Rated mechanical load: 160kn (about 16 tons)

● Purpose: it is mainly used for high voltage/ultra-high voltage transmission lines (such as 110KV, 220kV, 500kV, etc.), especially for harsh environments such as high pollution, high humidity, salt fog, industrial dust, etc., to provide electrical insulation and mechanical support.

●  The product model is in accordance with GB/T 7253-2005 and JB/T9683-2012(EC60305:1995MOD).

●  The connection structure is in accordance with GB/T4056-2008(IEC60120:1984,MOD) and BS 3288 part lll.

●  According to customer requirements, the locking pin can be either W-pin or R-pin.

●  If there is no special instruction, W pin is used for U160BLP.

Structure and materials

• Material characteristic

  High-strength tempered glass is used, and its mechanical properties and resistance to thermal shock are improved through a heat treatment process.

  It features a smooth surface with strong hydrophobic properties, making it difficult for dirt to adhere, and it exhibits excellent anti-pollution performance.

  Zero-value self-explosion characteristic: If the glass insulator loses its insulation capability due to a fault, the umbrella disc will automatically burst, allowing operation and maintenance personnel to quickly identify the fault location.

• Metal accessories

  Cap&foot: Manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel or aluminum, offering corrosion resistance, and securely bonded to the glass umbrella tray using cement adhesive.

  Locking pin: A standardized design ensures a reliable connection for the insulator string.

• Umbrella skirt design

  The structure employs a large climbing distance anti-fouling umbrella skirt, featuring wide spacing between the umbrellas and a deep umbrella edge. This design effectively increases the creepage distance (typically ≥ 450mm) and suppresses arc and pollution flashover.

  The umbrella shape has been optimized to prevent rainwater from forming continuous lines, thereby improving the wet flashover voltage.
