What is the purpose of a prop insulator? In fact, according to its name we can probably guess its main role, that is insulation, the following for you to introduce its specific role in detail.
Pillar insulator is a kind of special insulation control, which can play an important role in overhead transmission lines. In the early years, pillar insulators were mostly used for electric poles, and gradually developed into a high voltage wire connecting tower with a lot of suspended insulators, which are hung to increase the creepage distance. They are usually made of silicone or ceramic, so they are called insulators.
Pillar insulators play two basic roles in overhead transmission lines, that is, supporting wire and preventing current from returning to ground. These two roles must be guaranteed. The insulators should not fail due to flashover breakdown caused by changes in environmental and electrical load conditions, otherwise the insulators will lose their function and damage the service and operating life of the whole line.
