Made by Jiangxi Huayao Electric Co., Ltd. in Luxi County, Jiangxi, China. Third-party inspection by Intertek, BV or SGS welcome.
What This Type Is For
Huayao control the quality starting from the careful screening of raw materials and automatic batching, every link follows a strict technological process, from melting to pressing, from uniform tempering to cold and hot impact, homogenization treatment, to subsequent gluing, maintenance, inspection and packaging, until the final product leaves the factory.
The product consists of an iron cap, tempered glass parts, and steel feet, and is integrated with cement adhesive. This product adopts the most advanced cylindrical head structure internationally, characterized by small head size, light weight, high strength, and large creepage distance. Can save metal materials and reduce line costs. To meet the needs of live working, traditional domestic structural shapes are used on the brim of the hat.

On desert and high wind routes, deposits sit in a deep shed and never wash off. An open profile lets the wind do the cleaning and sheds ice more readily.
What You Get With This Unit
Material
Toughened glass shell with hot-dip galvanised cap and pin, cemented and cured.
Traceability
Routine tensile load test on every piece, with the process record kept against the production batch.

Export Projects On Record
Material: fiberglass Questions
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask before a first order.
What is the mechanical failing load of Material: fiberglass?
The specified mechanical failing load is 240 kN. Every unit takes a routine tensile load test before it leaves the plant.
Which standards does this toughened glass insulator follow?
Designs follow GB, ANSI, BS, DIN, AS and IEC dimensions. Type test reports are available from Xi'an High Voltage Apparatus Research Institute Co., Ltd. and the National Ceramic Product Quality Inspection and Testing Center.
Can I have the goods inspected before shipment?
Yes. Buyers are welcome to inspect in person, and Huayao accepts third-party pre-shipment inspection appointed by the buyer, including Intertek, BV and SGS.
What is the production capacity behind this item?
The plant runs one natural-gas electric melting kiln with a melting area of about 50 m² and two production lines, with an annual capacity of six million pieces of AC and DC glass insulators. Stock is held on common types.
What happens if a glass shell is damaged in service?
A toughened glass shell shatters and leaves the cap and pin carrying the line, so a zero-value unit can be spotted on a ground or helicopter patrol instead of a hot-line test.
