Polymer Insulator Advantages

  • Very lightweight

  • As the composite insulator is flexible the chance of breakage becomes minimum.

  • Lighter in weigh

  • Smaller in size

  • Performance is better

Polymer Insulator Disadvantages

  • Moisture may enter in the core if there is any unwanted gap between core and weather sheds. This may cause the electrical failure of the insulator.

  • Over crimping in end fittings may result in cracks in the core which leads to mechanical failure of polymer insulator.
