China U40B Glass Insulator CTV175 for HVDC Overhead Transmission Line Manufacturer, Factory

The glass parts of insulators for HVDC transmission lines are made of toughened glass, which has both high strength and self-checking characteristics. It can withstand the electrical stress under high-voltage electric field, and carry the self-weight of conductor, operating tension and external mechanical stress such as wind load and ice cover, with breaking load strength up to 40kN, which guarantees the structural stability of the line. The zero-value self-breaking characteristics of the tempered glass can quickly identify failed insulators, significantly reducing the difficulty of inspection and operation and maintenance costs.

The insulator can reliably withstand industrial frequency voltage and lightning impact voltage, effectively suppress leakage current and flashover risk, and provide stable electrical isolation between conductors and towers. The insulators are suitable for DC transmission systems of different voltage levels, and can be selected and configured according to project requirements, making them a key component for the safe operation of overhead lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage range is the U40B glass insulator suitable for?
It is primarily designed for overhead transmission lines with voltage levels of 35kV and below.
What is the mechanical failure load of this product?
The U40B has a rated mechanical failure load of 40kN, which is approximately equivalent to 4 tons of tension.
How does "Zero Self-Detonation" benefit maintenance?
When the glass loses its insulation value, the skirt bursts automatically. This allows maintenance crews to easily spot and replace the faulty unit from the ground.
Does the product resist corrosion in harsh environments?
Yes, the metal caps and feet are treated with corrosion-resistant galvanizing, making them suitable for urban and rural outdoor environments.
What standards are the connection structures based on?
The connection structures comply with GB/T4056-2008 (IEC60120:1984, MOD) and BS 3288 part III.
What type of locking pins can be used?
Depending on customer requirements, we can provide either W-pin or R-pin locking mechanisms. Standard units usually feature the R-pin.
