What Are Electrical Insulators?
Electrical insulators are essential components in power systems, designed to block unwanted current flow while safely supporting conductors. CNKEEYA's Electrical insulators ensure reliable electricity transmission by preventing short circuits and maintaining system stability in overhead lines, substations, and industrial applications.

Electrical Insulator FAQ
Q1: How do I choose between porcelain and polymer insulators?
A: Porcelain suits traditional HV lines with moderate pollution, while polymer excels in coastal/industrial areas due to superior pollution resistance and lighter weight. For extreme mechanical loads, glass disc insulators are preferred.
Q2: What causes insulator failure, and how to prevent it?
A: Common causes:
-
Pollution buildup (regular cleaning required)
-
Cracking (avoid mechanical stress during installation)
-
UV degradation (use silicone-coated polymers)
Prevention: Select insulators with adequate creepage distance and conduct annual inspections.
Q3: Can insulators be repaired if damaged?
A: No. Cracked or punctured insulators must be replaced immediately to prevent electrical faults. Polymer units with damaged sheds also require replacement, as repairs compromise dielectric performance.
