Glass Standard Profile Suspension Insulators LXP-550 / U550B
Most line kilometres do not need a fog profile. The standard shed keeps cost and string weight down where pollution is light.
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.

U550BL/240 Questions
Straight answers to the questions buyers ask before a first order.
What is the mechanical failing load of U550BL/240?
The specified mechanical failing load is 550 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.
