Description: Specialty composite insulators including heat shrinkable cable accessories for telecom components are highly reliable and cost effective and perform in all environments. The insulator system consists of two main components, a rod or tube made of glass fibre reinforced plastics and a silicone elastomer housing covering the FRP rod. This design allows a separate improvement of the insulator's mechanical property and enhances the electrical performance and exhibits outstanding mechanical and electrical characteristics meeting all overhead line and switchgear engineering requirements. 25 kV composite insulators for traction applications are approved by RDSO. The major advantages of composite insulators over ceramics and hybrid insulators include weight reduction, reduced breakages, improved resistance to vandalism, improved power frequency insulation, improved contamination performance, less maintenance cost, high mechanical strength, and long life with superior anti- tracking properties.
