Insulators are crucial components in electrical systems. Their primary function is to prevent the flow of electrical current between conductors or from conductors to other objects. Insulators are made from materials that are poor conductors of electricity, such as porcelain, glass, rubber, and composite polymers. Below are the various types of insulators, their applications, and materials commonly used in different industries.
- Pin Insulators
- Suspension Insulators
- Strain Insulators
- Shackle Insulators
- Cap and Pin Insulators
- Composite Insulators
- Line Post Insulators
- Aluminium Housings in Substations
- Stay Insulators (Guy Strain Insulators)
