What is Composite Pin Insulators?

 

A composite pin insulator consists of a nonconducting material polymer silicon rubber that is formed into a shape. It is a device that is designed to support cable or wire, from direct contact with whatever structure is used in the configuration of the wiring.

Benefits of Using Composite Pin Insulators

 

1. Stable and reliable mechanical performance.
The end connection fittings (steel feet, iron caps) of the insulator all adopt the structure of the disc-shaped suspended porcelain insulator, and the core plate is made of high-strength porcelain. Every process from the supporting parts to the finished product is made and inspected in strict accordance with national and industry standards.

 

2. Excellent pollution flashover resistance.
As the silicone rubber composite jacket has good hydrophobicity and hydrophobicity migration, it improves the power frequency wet flashover voltage and the ability to resist pollution flashover. Through the artificial pollution flashover voltage comparison test, the pollution flashover voltage of each porcelain composite insulator is increased by more than 70% compared with the porcelain insulator of the same type and specification. At the same time, the umbrella shape also has better wind and rain self-cleaning ability and pollution speed. Slow, manual water washing and cleaning are also extremely convenient, especially in dusty and dirty environments, it is more and more excellent. The insulator is easy to adjust the creepage distance of the external insulation, which can meet the requirements of the creepage distance of the insulator string for the operation line in the heavy pollution area.

 

3. Strong impact resistance
The surface of Porcelain Pin Insulators is firmly covered with a silicone rubber composite jacket, which makes it have good impact resistance. At the same time, since the porcelain parts are not directly exposed to the air, the frequency of breakdown or bursting of the porcelain parts caused by sudden changes in environmental temperature or lightning strikes is reduced, thereby greatly reducing the line maintenance cost.

 

4. Light weight, convenient for transportation, installation and maintenance.
The weight of the porcelain composite insulator is 1/3 lighter than the same type of porcelain insulator, thus reducing the installation labor intensity and the load bearing pressure of the iron tower. It can well withstand the bending distance on the tensile string and slow down the damage to the iron tower caused by the periodic impact force.

 

5. Unique and reasonable structure
The shape structure of the porcelain composite insulator, the iron cap adds a concave groove to the base of the porcelain insulator iron cap, which is convenient for the insulator to be clamped by tools during installation and replacement. The connection size and structural height of the iron cap and the steel foot of the insulator are exactly the same as the original porcelain insulator, which has good interchangeability. Especially on the current running line, the composite insulator can be replaced directly without adjusting the sagging of the original line, and the replacement is extremely convenient.

What is Composite Pin Insulators Made of?

 

 

Composite insulator is also called synthetic insulator, non-ceramic insulator, polymer insulator, rubber insulator, etc. The main structure is generally composed of umbrella skirt, FRP core bar and end fittings.

The umbrella skirt is generally made of organic synthetic materials, such as ethylene propylene rubber, high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, etc.; the FRP core bar is generally reinforced with glass fiber and based on oxidized resin; the end fittings are usually carbon steel or carbon structural steel coated with hot zinc aluminum.

End Fitting Structure - Composite Pin Insulators

 

 

Composite Pin Insulatorss vary in their structure depending on the characteristics of use. In addition to meeting the tensile strength, meeting the requirements, and reliably connecting with the mandrel, the design of the metal tip also needs to meet the special requirements for application under high voltage. Composite insulators are generally made in the shape of a rod with a small capacitance. Therefore, the voltage distribution on the surface of the insulator is very uneven. Thus, in normal operation, the generated corona will be harmful, so it is necessary to use a pressure equalization measure. In addition, the synthetic insulating material cannot withstand an electric arc of several tens of kiloamperes. In the event of a short circuit fault, it will burn the umbrella near the wire and the tower, so arcing is required. At home and abroad, the method of adding a pressure equalizing ring is generally adopted to uniform the end electric field, weaken the corona, and lead to the fault arc.

The voltage equalizing ring of the composite insulator is a component of the composite insulator. Its function is to control the electric field strength inside the insulator, avoid internal partial discharge, reduce the local electric field strength of the external surface, especially the surface of the metal connecting part, and reduce the radio interference. Leading the power frequency arc to avoid burning the surface of the insulator and minimizing the local electric field strength near the end surface to improve its anti-smudge performance.

 

Composite Pin Insulators State Detection

Composite insulators have the advantages of light weight, high strength, strong resistance for pollution flashover, and convenient maintenance, and are extensively used in the power system. However, with the increase of operating time and quantity, the rate of information faults for composite insulators is gradually increasing.

 

Therefore, it is very important to guarantee the safe operation of the power grid by carrying out state detection research on composite insulators. Composite insulators have a variety of structures, but mainly comprise by four Parts: A core rod, sheds and sheath, fitting (base connector and oval eye), and a grading ring.

The Composition of Composite Pin Insulators
 

Extreme environmental conditions, like temperature variations, moisture and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, can't harm composite insulators, which can endure high amounts of mechanical stress, such as wind and ice loading. They can withstand conditions where pollution and corrosion are common because of their resistance to these elements. A composite insulator is an electrical insulator made from a combination of materials, typically

Fiberglass or other reinforcing fibers

These fibers provide strength and support to the insulator.

Polymer or resin matrix

This material binds the fibers together and provides electrical insulation. Silicone rubber is a common polymer type that is used but other materials such as epoxy resin may also be utilized.

Metal end fittings

These fittings are attached to the ends of the insulator and provide a way to connect it to other electrical equipment.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Composite Pin Insulators
 

Q: What are the advantages of composite pin insulators vs. porcelain?

A: Tensile strength: porcelain insulator can provide high mechanical strength. Polymeric insulator strength is excellent due to crimping technology. Maintenance: porcelain needs maintenance like cleaning, washing and greasing. Polymer non maintenance is required.

Q: Is the cost of composite pin insulators relatively low?

A: These basic materials are combined with various fillers like aluminium trihydrate to obtain the desired electrical and mechanical properties. The most popular material used in composite pin insulators is silicone rubber, due to its long-term dynamic hydrophobicity—which significantly reduces the need for regular washing in polluted areas—as well as its availability at a relatively cheaper cost.

Q: Does composite pin insulators expand in heat?

A: Expansion & Contraction Should Be Considered During Installation. Just like a metal bridge, a composite decking board will expand when it gets warmer. The cables which support the deck expand and contract constantly, causing the height of the deck where the road is to vary in height by 16 feet between coldest and highest temperatures.

Q: Can composite pin insulators adapt to severe weather conditions?

A: Under severe meteorological conditions such as heavy fog, light rain, dew, melting snow, and melting ice, separate water droplets are formed on the surface of the composite pin insulator instead of a continuous water film. The conductivity of the pollution layer is very low, so the leakage current is also very small, and it is not easy to have a strong local arc, and it is difficult for the local arc to further develop and cause external insulation flashover.

Q: Is the composite pin insulator easy to run and maintain?

A: The excellent pollution resistance of organic external insulation improves the reliability of power system operation. In polluted areas, it does not need to be cleaned regularly like porcelain and glass insulators, and there is no problem of zero value detection of ordinary suspension porcelain insulators, which greatly reduces the operation and maintenance costs of insulators in polluted areas.

Q: Are composite pin insulators lighter than porcelain insulators?

A: High strength and light weight. The strength-to-weight ratio of composite pin insulators is very high, that is, the specific strength is very high. Its high mechanical strength comes from the excellent mechanical properties of the FRP core rod. The tensile strength of the FRP pull-out rod, which is currently widely used, can reach more than 1000MPa, while the core rod density is only about 2g/cm3. Therefore, its specific strength is very high, about 5 to 10 times that of high-quality carbon steel. At the same voltage level, the weight of the composite pin insulator is only 1/7 to 1/10 of that of the porcelain insulator.

Q: What material is composite pin insulators?

A: Unlike traditional insulators made from a single material such as glass or ceramic, composite pin insulators are engineered from a combination of materials, typically including a housing sheath made from polymer materials and a core rod made from a conductive, often metal, material.

Q: What is the rated voltage of the composite pin insulator?

A: Insulators are chosen based on the voltage level they are designed to handle. Each model of ceramic, glass, or composite pin insulator corresponds to a specific voltage rating. The required voltage level must be considered when selecting an insulator.

Q: Are composite pin insulators durable?

A: Not easy to break, preventing accidents. composite pin insulators have strong impact resistance, which greatly reduces accidental damage caused during installation and transportation, and can effectively prevent damage caused by human factors such as gunfire.

Q: What is the service life of composite pin insulators?

A: While choosing the type of insulator to be deployed, utilities typically consider the line design, service environment, acquisition costs as well as total life cycle cost. Experts favouring composite pin insulators claim that even in the case of heavy pollution requiring over six washings per year and a pessimistic scenario wherein the insulators would have to be replaced after 15 years, choosing composite pin insulators could still be cost effective.

Q: Is it necessary to clean the composite pin insulators regularly?

A: In severely polluted zones, a firm maintenance plan should be in place. The insulators should be washed and cleaned regularly, particularly in areas with extreme pollution levels or less rain. In general, the most frequently employed methods are washing with water at a high, average or low pressure; washing with compressed dry air; or washing with spurts of abrasive materials.

Q: What should I pay attention to when using composite pin insulators?

A: One of the major challenges related to the use of insulators is pollution. The surface of insulators in service for several years becomes polluted to some degree. Pollution accumulation and dampening (due to fog/dew) could result in pollution flashover accidents. To counter this issue, some preventive measures can be taken. These include adjusting creepage distance to reinforce insulation by increasing the number of discs in a string; increasing frequency of washing; coating surfaces of porcelain and glass with a thin layer of hydrophobic material; or using silicon rubber composite pin insulators.

Q: Is composite pin insulators fire proof?

A: It's important to understand that no wood or composite decking is truly fireproof. However, there are fire-rated decking options with specific certifications that make them a better choice for homes in fire zones. One way to choose is by looking at a material's flame spread rating.

Q: What is the difference between polymer insulator and composite pin insulators?

A: polymer insulators: polymer insulators are also designed to resist pollution, but their pollution performance may vary depending on the specific design and material used. composite pin insulators: these insulators are generally more expensive due to the use of composite core materials and metal end fittings.

Q: Is the composite pin insulators lightweight?

A: The key benefits of using composite pin insulators are that they are light in weight and small in size; are flexible, and therefore have less chances of breakage; impose less load on the support structure, leading to an overall low cost of installation; have high creepage offset and resistance to vandalism; and have a higher tensile strength compared to porcelain insulators. Most importantly, these are better suited for polluted areas and require less cleaning due to the hydrophobic nature of the insulator.

Q: What are the advantages of using composite pin insulators?

A: The benefits of composite pin insulators are manifold. Their compact size and light weight facilitate maintenance and installation. High mechanical strength means they are less likely to shatter, and their excellent seismic performance and contamination resistance make them suitable for a variety of environments. Furthermore, the production cycle is relatively short, and the quality is highly consistent.

Q: How do you test composite pin insulators?

A: This test is usually carried out for pin insulators. In this test, the insulator is inverted and placed into the water up to the neck. The spindle hole is also filled with water and a high voltage is applied for 5 minutes. The insulator should remain undamaged after this test.

Q: What are the materials of composite pin insulators?

A: The weather sheds protect the insulator core from the outside environment. The most commonly used polymer shed materials for manufacturing composite pin insulators include silicone rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, cycloaliphatic epoxy (CE) resins and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon).

Q: What are the structures and materials of composite pin insulators?

A: Structure and Materials: composite pin insulators are engineered with a combination of materials that typically include a polymer housing sheath for environmental sealing and a fiberglass or other conductive material core for mechanical strength. This design allows for a compact and lightweight structure that can withstand significant mechanical stress without compromising electrical performance.

Q: Why are composite pin insulators popular?

A: Composite pin insulators have gained popularity in the T&D space in certain applications. These insulators comprise a fibre glass reinforced epoxy resin rod-shaped core, which is covered with polymer weather sheds. The rod-shaped core is fixed with hop dip galvanised cast steel end fittings on both sides.
