Insulators Used for Overhead Transmission Lines: 5 Types | Electricity

Various types of insulators used for overhead transmission and distribution lines are described below: Type # 1. Pin Insulators: This type was amongst the earliest designs, and used for support­ing line conductors. It provides the most economic, simple and efficient method of conductor and bus-bar support for voltages up to and including 33 kV. Modern pin type insulators are very [...]
