Purpose: Aerodynamic glass insulators are primarily used in high-voltage transmission lines. Their Aerodynamic design resists strong winds, reduces vibration, prevents ice buildup, and enhances self-cleaning capabilities. They are ideal for harsh weather conditions (e.g., windy or frigid regions), ensuring line stability and safety.
The product model is in accordance with IEC60383-1:1993,MOD / GB/T1001.1
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.
lf there is no special instruction, R pin is used for U210AD

Suspension insulator components

Suspension insulators consist of the following elements:
- One dielectric made of toughened glass with the appropriate properties and shape for the environmental conditions in which it must function.
- One hot-dip galvanized nodular or ductile malleable cast iron cap.
- One hot-dip galvanized forged steel pin.
- The cap and pin are assembled on the glass piece using aluminous cement with the appropriate properties to withstand the thermomechanical efforts.
Lastly, the insulator cap has a stainless steel or phosphor bronze locking device (split pin) which secures the coupling of the units.
Similarly, the pins may be protected using an anti-corrosion zinc sleeve (sacrificial anode), when requested. This zinc sleeve is strongly recommended for insulators which are going to be used in lines with heavy pollution.
