POLYMER INSULATOR
‘MEMF’ Polymeric Standoff Insulators
Insulators are devices which are used on electricity supply networks

to support, separate or contain conductors at high voltage.

Insulators have the dual functions of mechanically supporting aerial
conductors while also providing adequate electrical insulation between
the energized conductor and the supporting pole or structure. Insulators
are used in distribution systems and design to accept cantilever or tension
loading.

The MEMF Standoff Insulator is a light weight direct molded composite
insulator, using HTV silicone rubber. The HTV Silicone rubber is chemically
bonded to the FRP core providing impenetrable interface sealing mechanism
and the crimped assembly ensures optimal mechanical performance.

Corrosion resistance end fitting are crimped to the pultruded fibergalss core
to allow the transition of mechanical loading to the line and mounting structure.

Features

Key Features of Composite Insulators
Factors Composite Insulator Ceramic Insulator

Resistance to flashovers in Polluted High Low
atmosphere
Resistance to puncture Not puncturable Puncturable
Anti‐Tracking and erosion Excellent Poor
resistance
Dielectric Strength Excellent Lower then Polymeric
Resistance to Cracking and Erosion High Low
in polluted atmosphere
Contamination & Pollution Performance not affected and has a Highly affected
longer life
Hydrophobicity The hydrophobicity properties of Non hydrophobic, porcelain
silicone rubber provide excellent surface forms water films on the
insulating behavior and resists surface making easy path leading
wetting by forming beads water to more flashovers.
without the needs of washing and
greasing even in humid or polluted
climates. Hence low failure rate
combined with low overall operating
and maintenance cost.
Self Cleaning property Due to hydrophobicity recovery Due to Glaze and inclination of
characteristic sheds
Maintenance No Maintenance is required Needs maintenance like cleaning,
washing, greasing
Safety Polymeric insulators provide very Porcelain insulators are
high level of safety, superior susceptible to explosion and
flexibility and strength. Not breakages, due to high fragile
susceptible to explosion. properties.
Weight Light (60‐70% less than Ceramic More

Insulator)
Resistance to breakage and Unbreakable Breakable in Vandalism prone
Vandalism areas
Mechanical Failure Single piece hence no such problem Reduction in mechanical strength
and separation due to pings
getting eroded
Artificial Pollution Test Not Applicable Mandatory

Power Arc Test Not Applicable Mandatory


Insulator Selection Parameters
When selecting insulators, it’s necessary to describe the insulator parameters by the following
terms:
Creepage Distance Shortest distance or the sum of the shortest distance along
the surface on an insulator between two conductive parts
which normally have the operating voltage between them
Arcing Distance Shortest distance in air external to the insulator between

the metallic parts which normally have the operating
voltage between them
Specified Mechanical Load (SML) Load specified by the manufacturer, which is used for
mechanical tests.
End Fitting Integral component or formed part of an insulator

intended to connect it to a supporting structure, or to a
conductor, or to a conductor, or to an item of equipment,
or to another insulator.
Specified Cantilever Load (SCL) Cantilever load which can be withstood by the insulator
when tested under the prescribed conditions.
Maximum Design Cantilever Load (MDCL) Cantilever load level above which damage to the insulator
begins to occur and that should not be exceeded in service.
Routine Test Load Routine test load, applied to all assembled composite
insulators during routine mechanical test at 50% of
specified mechanical load for at least 10 seconds.
