Composite insulators are designed to withstand high levels of mechanical stress, such as wind and ice loading, and to resist the effects of extreme weather conditions, including temperature changes, moisture, and UV radiation. They are also resistant to pollution and corrosion, which makes them ideal for use in environments where these factors are present.
What is Composite Insulator Made of?
Composite insulators are used in a variety of electrical systems, including transmission and distribution lines, substations, and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. They are preferred over traditional porcelain or glass insulators because they are lighter, more durable, and less brittle, making them less prone to breakage and easier to transport and install.
