What is Tempered Glass Insulator?

Tempered glass insulators are used for insulating and hanging conductors in high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage AC and DC transmission lines. In the early years, tempered glass insulators were mostly used for utility poles, and gradually developed in the high-voltage wire connection tower with a lot of disc-shaped insulators hanging at one end. It is to increase the creepage distance, usually made of glass or ceramics, called insulators.

Advantages of Tempered Glass Insulators

1. No need for regular cleaning of insulators

2. High safety performance. Tempered glass insulators have the characteristics of zero-value self-breaking. As long as the observation is done on the ground or on a helicopter, there is no need to mount the pole to detect one by one, which reduces the labor intensity of workers.

3. Keep the inherent properties of toughened glass. Unlike porcelain or non-ceramic materials, toughened glass insulating material never ages.

4. High Mechanical Strength. Even with the insulating shell absent, the toughened glass stub is guaranteed to retain its mechanical strength, eliminating the chance of line drop due to insulator separation.

5. Safe live-line working

Application

Tempered glass insulators are used in high-voltage power transmission lines to support and insulate electrical conductors from the towers or poles. These insulators are made of tempered glass, which is a type of safety glass that is heated and then rapidly cooled to increase its strength and resistance to impact.

The tempered glass insulators are designed to provide electrical insulation and mechanical support to the power transmission lines. They prevent the flow of current through the tower or pole to the ground and also resist the mechanical stresses caused by wind, ice, and other environmental factors.

In addition to their electrical and mechanical properties, tempered glass insulators are also highly resistant to corrosion, which makes them suitable for use in harsh environments such as coastal regions or areas with high levels of pollution.
