Judgment Standards for the Quality and Reliability of Insulators

Historically, insulators were primarily used on utility poles. With the advancement of technology, they evolved into strings of disc-shaped units suspended from high-voltage transmission towers. These units, typically made of glass or ceramics, are designed to increase creepage distance. Insulators play two fundamental roles in overhead transmission lines: supporting the conductors and preventing current from returning to the ground. These functions must be guaranteed under all environmental and electrical load conditions. An insulator must not fail due to mechanical or electrical stresses; otherwise, the operational life and safety of the entire transmission line will be compromised. 1. Standards for Insulation Resistance The quality...

Root Cause Analysis of Core Rod Fracture During Crimping or Tensile Testing

I. Failure Characteristics The fracture typically occurs inside the ball-end or socket-end metal fitting. The primary symptom is a tensile failure load that is significantly lower than the rated design value. II. Root Cause Analysis Excessive Crimping Force: The pressure applied during the crimping process exceeds the radial compressive strength of the core rod, leading to internal structural damage. Improper Crimping Position: The crimping dies are not centered; the compression zone should ideally be located in the middle of the fitting's connection area. Poor Machining Precision of Fittings: Issues such as eccentricity of the inner hole, insufficient cylindricity, or internal tapers can...

Critical Issues During Demolding in Composite Insulator Production

The manufacturing process of composite insulators has evolved significantly, from dry-sleeve assembly to integral injection molding. Simultaneously, core rods have advanced from standard types to high-temperature, acid-resistant, and high-impact-strength versions to meet the demands of modern production techniques. Currently, the integral injection molding combined with crimped end-fittings is the most recommended structure for suspension insulators. However, a technical contradiction exists: according to polymer characteristics, core rods with higher heat resistance often exhibit lower impact strength. Solving this requires collaboration between core rod and insulator manufacturers to ensure the rod can withstand injection temperatures while maintaining the high impact strength necessary for...

Insulation Resistance and Withstand Voltage Testing of Insulators: An Overview

Insulators are essential components used extensively in power grids. Currently, porcelain insulators are the most widely used, followed by glass insulators. In recent years, organic or composite insulators have also seen increasing application across domestic networks. 1. Classification of Insulators Insulators come in various shapes and sizes, categorized by their application and structure: By Application: Line insulators and station insulators; indoor and outdoor types. By Shape/Structure: Suspension, pin-type, post, long-rod, bushing, and stay (guy) insulators. Special Types: Anti-pollution (dust-proof) insulators and insulating cross-arms. The porcelain or glass components provide both electrical insulation and high mechanical strength. To ensure durability, these parts are often...

Measurement of Insulator Insulation Resistance

Insulation resistance measurement is a fundamental method for evaluating the condition of porcelain, tempered glass, and composite insulators. The primary objective is to detect insulation deterioration, dielectric breakdown, and other defects that could compromise grid safety. 1. Equipment and Standards For overhead transmission lines ranging from 35kV to 220kV, a 5000V Megohmmeter is recommended for accurate measurement. New Insulators: Insulation resistance should be ≥ 500 MΩ. In-Service Insulators: Insulation resistance should be ≥ 300 MΩ. 2. Criteria for Insulation Degradation The state of an insulator is determined based on the following resistance thresholds: Low-value Insulator: Resistance < 300 MΩ but > 240 MΩ. Zero-value...

Power Frequency AC Withstand Voltage Test for Insulators

The Power Frequency AC Withstand Voltage Test is the most direct, effective, and authoritative method for assessing the dielectric strength of insulators. It is a mandatory requirement during commissioning (handover) tests. In preventive maintenance, this test can replace zero-value detection and insulation resistance measurements, or serve as the final judgment for insulators flagged by other methods. For single-unit post insulators, it remains the most efficient and straightforward testing approach. 1. Voltage Standards and Requirements 35kV Pin-type Post Insulators: For two-part bonded units: 50kV per unit. For three-part bonded units: 34kV per unit. Disc Suspension Insulators: For units with a mechanical failing load...
