Glass insulator LXP-240

During the first few years of production and operation, glass insulators were found to have a series of advantages over ceramic insulators, including:
Due to the high mechanical strength of the surface layer of glass insulators, cracks are less likely to occur on the surface. The electrical strength of glass generally remains constant throughout the entire operation period, and its aging process is much slower than that of porcelain. Therefore, glass insulators are mainly scrapped due to self damage, which occurs within the first year of operation. However, defects in porcelain insulators only begin to be discovered after a few years of operation.
By using glass insulators, it is possible to eliminate the periodic preventive testing of live insulators during operation. This is because every type of damage to tempered glass can cause damage to insulators, which operators can easily detect during line patrols. When the insulator is damaged, glass fragments near the steel cap and iron feet get stuck, and the mechanical strength of the remaining part of the insulator is sufficient to prevent the insulator string from breaking off.
The main types of glass insulators are: LXP-70，LXP-100，LXP-160，LXHP-70，LXHP-100，LXHP-160，LXY-70，LXY-100，LXY-160，LXHY-70，LXHY-100，LXHY-160，FC-70，FC-100，FC-160，FC70P/146，FC100P/146，LXY1-70, wait a minute
