Insulator

Essential Guide to High-Voltage Insulators: Functions, Causes of Damage, and Maintenance Tips

Insulators are typically made of porcelain material and are therefore also known as porcelain insulators. They have a dense structure with a glazed surface to enhance electrical insulation performance. Insulators for different voltage levels have varying effective heights and surface configurations.
