Glass Power Line Insulators U300B195-485N

The design of a Glass powerline insulators typically consists of a glass shell or body with a threaded or grooved top to attach to the overhead line conductor and a base that is mounted onto a support structure. the glass used is a high-quality electrical insulating material, often made of porcelain or tempered glass. the shape and surface of the insulator are carefully engineered to prevent surface tracking, arcing, and flashovers, which could lead to power outages and potential damage.

The primary purpose of using glass insulators is to maintain electrical isolation and to provide mechanical support to the power lines. they help prevent electricity from leaking into the structure holding the lines, which could lead to potential safety hazards, fires, or damage to the transmission infrastructure. the insulators also prevent electrical discharges due to environmental factors like rain, fog, and pollution.
