As Sri Lanka aggressively pursues its "Vistas of Prosperity and Splendour" national policy, the modernization of its power transmission and distribution network has become a cornerstone of economic growth. The island nation, characterized by its unique tropical climate and extensive coastline, faces distinct challenges in maintaining grid stability. Specifically, the Double-Shed Type Glass Insulator has emerged as a critical technology for the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and Lanka Electricity Company (LECO) projects.
In regions like Colombo, Jaffna, and Matara, the high salt content in the air leads to "Salt Fog" accumulation on standard insulators. This phenomenon significantly reduces the surface resistance, leading to leakage currents and flashovers. Our Double-Shed design provides a creepage distance increment of up to 30% compared to standard profiles, effectively mitigating the risk of dry band arcing in coastal zones.
Global industrial trends are shifting towards UHV (Ultra High Voltage) and grid automation. Sri Lanka’s position as a maritime hub in South Asia necessitates a power grid that can support high-load industrial zones and burgeoning renewable energy plants. By implementing Double-Shed glass insulators, local utility providers can ensure a lifespan of over 40 years with minimal maintenance, even under the stress of monsoon rains and high UV exposure.
Founded in 2002 with a registered capital of 508 million Yuan, Jiangxi QOCI Electric Co. Ltd stands as a titan in the global insulator industry. Our facilities span over 70,000 m², housing 53+ senior engineering technicians dedicated to the research and development of toughened glass insulators.
For the Sri Lanka market, we offer more than just products; we provide macro-industrial solutions. Our adherence to IEC 60305, IEC 60383, and ANSI standards ensures that every unit supplied to the Sri Lankan grid is rigorously tested for mechanical strength, thermal shock resistance, and dielectric integrity.
Transition from porcelain to high-strength toughened glass. Glass offers visual inspection capabilities (automatic shattering upon failure) which reduces patrol costs in remote Sri Lankan hills.
Development of the Double-Shed and Triple-Shed profiles to handle industrial pollution (Type III and Type IV areas) common in Free Trade Zones (FTZs) like Katunayake.
Integrating RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization) silicone coatings for superior hydrophobicity, combined with AI-driven drone inspections to monitor grid health in real-time.
Requirement: Maximum anti-fog performance. Our U160BD Double-Shed models are deployed here to combat the relentless salt-spray from the Indian Ocean.
In regions like Nuwara Eliya, persistent mist causes constant wetting of insulators. The "Open Shed" design prevents ice-bridging and heavy moisture accumulation.
Heavy industrial dust in zones like Biyagama requires insulators with high "Self-Cleaning" capabilities. Wind and rain naturally wash the Double-Shed surface due to the aerodynamic rib design.
Evacuating power from Northern wind farms requires high-tensile (210kN-300kN) suspension strings to withstand the high mechanical loads of large-diameter conductors.

A: The Double-Shed profile offers significantly higher leakage distance and better aerodynamic self-cleaning. In Sri Lanka's coastal and humid environment, this prevents salt-fog accumulation and reduces the frequency of maintenance patrols.
A: Yes. Our toughened glass insulators have high dielectric strength and are designed to withstand transient overvoltages. The high-purity glass ensures that even if a strike occurs, the integrity of the string is maintained better than porcelain alternatives.
A: For standard models like the U70BLD or U120BD, we maintain stock. Large-scale project orders typically have a production cycle of 15-30 days, with an additional 12-15 days for sea freight to Sri Lanka.
A: Absolutely. Our engineering team is familiar with CEB technical specifications. We provide detailed drawings, characteristic curves, and all necessary certification to ensure your bid is technically compliant.
Whether you are designing a new 132kV transmission line in Hambantota or upgrading the distribution network in Kandy, our Double-Shed Type Glass Insulators provide the reliability and efficiency your project demands.
