The definitions of insulators here refer to the circumscription of the electrical insulators on overhead power lines or high voltage power substations in standard IEC 60383-1:1993. Why should we clarify the definitions of insulators? Because in IEC 60383 standard, it describes each test, whether a mechanical or electrical test, that should be carried out. And […]
The electrical industry grows steadily in Pakistan with the rising demand of electricity. Not only for civil use, but also for industrial such as manufacturing, transportation, and etc. As a vital part of electrical overhead lines, high voltage insulators are largely required accordingly. In Pakistan, the majority of insulators are in porcelain material. These ceramic […]
Porcelain post insulators are widely used on electrical power substation and transmission line systems. In the substation line system, post insulators are commonly seen as station post insulators. On both sides of the station post insulator, there are flanges with drilled holes for bolts fixing. These station post insulators are fixed on the bottom base […]
Scope and object This International Standard applies to composite suspension/tension insulators consisting of a load-bearing cylindrical insulating solid core consisting of fibers – usually glass – in a resin-based matrix, a housing (outside the insulating core) made of polymeric material and end fittings permanently attached to the insulating core. Composite insulators covered by this standard […]
Composite insulator’s shed and sheath are be made of high temperature vulcanizing (HTV) type silicone rubber, having silicone polymer content by weight 30% minimum. Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) is used as a filler. The filler is properly mixed with silicone compounds to ensure uniform distribution. The thickness of the sheath shall be a minimum of 3 […]
The creation of composite insulator started before the 1960s. This new insulator was firstly applied in America and then in France and Germany soon afterwards. It was quite slow for user to accept insulator with silicone rubber material in the beginning as most technical innovation would have some key problems to solve in the history. […]
Composite insulators consist of an insulating core, bearing the mechanical load protected by a polymeric housing, the load being transmitted to the core by end fittings. Despite these common features, the materials used and the construction details employed by different manufacturers may be quite different. Some tests have been grouped together as “Design tests”, to be performed only […]
Contune International Corporation and its headquater company Qianheng Automation have participated in World congress of electrical field held by INMR in Barcelona Sitges. The congress started on 5th November to 8th November 2017. The 2017 INMR WORLD CONGRESS has brought hundreds of power engineers from across the globe to Sitges this year, many of which have given presentation […]
International standard IEC 61284:1997 “Overhead lines – Requirements and tests for fittings” has defined requirements and test methods of electrical fittings (line hardware) for overhead lines. The complete IEC standard includes English and French language version, it’s too long and a little difficult for quick explore. Here we quote the content of IEC 61284 for […]
