Industry Application

UHV And EHV Transmission Lines

Lines at 330 kV and above carry the load of an entire region. A single insulator failure on a UHV circuit is not a local outage, it is a system event, and the replacement window is measured in scheduled outages rather than hours.

Home/Industries
Pain Points

What Goes Wrong In This Sector

  • String failures on UHV circuits cause system-level events, not local outages
  • Locating a punctured porcelain unit on a 500 kV string needs live testing and an outage
  • Long river and valley crossings need mechanical ratings above the standard 70 kN class
  • Pollution class often changes several times along a single route
Requirements

What Buyers Here Actually Need

  • Mechanical ratings from 160 kN upward with consistent coupling sizes
  • Batch-to-batch electrical consistency across tens of thousands of discs
  • Profiles selectable per route section without changing coupling hardware
  • Full type test and routine test documentation for grid acceptance

How We Deliver

Support Across The Project Cycle

From selection through manufacture to on-site guidance, handled by the same engineering team.

Pre-Sales Technical Consultation

Selection starts from your line conditions, not from our catalogue.

Customized Design And Manufacturing

When the standard disc does not fit the site, we develop one that does.

Production And Quality Assurance

Defective shells are removed in our furnace, not on your tower.

Logistics And Global Delivery

Export packing and documentation handled as part of the order, not as an afterthought.

Answers

UHV And EHV Transmission Lines Questions

What mechanical ratings have you supplied for UHV projects?

Jinhao developed a 420 kN insulator for the 750 kV Kuqa to Aral and Bachu project and a 550 kN insulator for the ±800 kV Longdong to Shandong project, both to meet SGCC requirements.

Can profiles vary along one route?

Yes. Because the 160 kN discs share 155 mm spacing and 20 coupling, profile can change by route section without changing the string hardware.

What documentation do you supply for grid acceptance?

Technical documents, test reports and certification support, with testing to IEC 60383 and GB/T 1001.1.

Tell Us About The Route

Voltage, mechanical load, pollution class and quantity. We will size the string and confirm what we can deliver and when.
