    Gurpreet Uppal
    This document discusses insulators, which are materials that resist the flow of electric charge and are used to support power transmission lines. It describes the properties of good insulators like high resistance and strength. The main types of overhead line insulators are pin, suspension, and strain insulators. Pin insulators attach wires to utility poles while suspension insulators connect multiple units with metal links. Strain insulators support tension at line changes in direction. The document also covers factors that affect insulator efficiency like flashover voltage and grading techniques to improve voltage distribution. Common insulating materials include porcelain, glass, and composite synthetics.

    INSULATORS

    Submitted by:

    1
    WHAT IS INSULATOR?
     An insulator, also called a dielectric, is a
    material that resists the flow of electric
    charge
     The term also refers to insulating supports
    that attach electric power
    transmission wires to utility poles

    2
    PROPERTIES OF GOOD
    INSULATOR
     High specific resistance
     High tensile strength
     High dielectric strength
     Should not be porous
     High mechanical stength
     Resistant to temperature

    3
    TYPES OF INSULATORS IN
    OVERHEAD LINES

     Pin type insulator.


     Suspension type insulator.
     Strain type insulator.

    4
    TYPES OF INSULATORS

    5
    PIN TYPE INSULATOR
     A pin insulator consists of a
    nonconducting material such as porcelain,
    glass, plastic, polymer, or wood that is
    formed into a shape that will isolate a wire
    from a physical support (or "pin") on
    a  utility pole

    6
    PIN TYPE INSULATORS

    7
    SUSPENSION OR STRING
    TYPE INSULATOR
     It consists of a no. of seprate insulator
    units connected with each other by metal
    links to form flexible string.
     The conductor is attached to lowest unit.

    8
    SUSPENSION TYPE
    INSULATORS

    9
    ADVANTAGE OF STRING TYPE
     In the event of failure of an insulator, on
    unit , instead of the whole string, has to be
    replaced
     The mechanical stresses are reduced
     Installations is easy for increase in
    operating voltage

    10
    STRAIN TYPE

      These are mostly


    applied to support line
    strain (tension), such as
    at changes of
    transmission line
    direction

    11
    EFFCT OF HIGH VOLTAGE ON
    INSULATORS
     Extra high voltage can lead to Punture or
    Flashover.
     In the case of punture the arc passes
    through the boby of insulator.
     Flashover is caused by an arc b/w the
    conductor nd earth through air
    surrounding insulator.

    12
    13
    DETERMINATION OF
    INSULATOR EFFICENCY
      “String Efficiency” is a measure of utilization of
    material in the string and is
    defined as,
    flashover voltage of string
    n* flashover voltage of one unit
    or

    voltage across the whole string


    n*(v/g across the unit adacent to line conducto)

    14
    METHODS TO INCREASE
    STRINGEFFICIENCY:-

    Types of method to
    Increase the String
    Efficiency.

    (A)Use of long (B) Grading on (C) Use of Grading


    Cross arm. Insulator. Ring.

    15
    METHODS IMPROVING V/G
    DISTRIBUTION
     Use of long cross arm.
     Grading of units: It consist of different
    capacitances for appropirate v/gs.
     Static shielding:in this we use guard rings

    16
    INSULATING MATERIALS
     Porcelain, which is widely used for all the
    abovementioned overhead line insulator
    types
     Glass, which may be used for and pin
    types. It’s thermal stability is consistent up
    to 538 degrees C
     Composite synthetics, which may be a
    combination of fibreglass, plastic and
    resin
