Insulators - The "Insulation Guardians" of High-Voltage Lines

Suspended on transmission towers, insulators bear dual responsibilities: supporting tons of mechanical load while withstanding hundreds of kilovolts. Traditional ceramic insulators are being replaced by composite versions featuring silicone rubber sheds and FRP cores, offering 40% lighter weight and superior pollution resistance.
New hydrophobic coating insulators prove particularly effective against salt fog corrosion in coastal areas. Industry data shows composite insulators reduce line failure rates by 40% and maintenance costs by 50%.
