Questions
Glass Suspension Insulators Questions
Why glass rather than porcelain?
A punctured toughened glass disc shatters and is visible from the ground during a patrol. A punctured porcelain disc usually looks intact and has to be found by instrument.
Which ratings do you supply?
U40B at 40kN, U70B at 70kN, U100B at 100kN, U120B at 120kN and U160B at 160kN, plus the aerodynamic XYAY series.
What creepage does each disc contribute?
185mm on the U40B, 320mm on the U70B through U120B and 400mm on the U160B.
What routine test is applied?
A mechanical routine test on every disc, at 20kN for the U40B rising to 80kN for the U160B.
Which standard applies?
The aerodynamic series is specified and tested in accordance with IEC 60383, and the U-series follows the IEC designations.
