Structure and Materials

Aerodynamic glass insulators, with their unique structures such as streamlined shape, large creepage distance, and optimized umbrella skirt design, combine high strength with excellent insulation performance. They are widely used in high-voltage to ultra-high-voltage transmission lines, especially in large-span sections crossing rivers and valleys, as well as in areas with pollution and strong winds, effectively reducing wind resistance, wind deflection accidents, and pollution flashover risks. At the same time, due to its high reliability and maintenance-free characteristics, it is also used in substations, electrified railways, and internal power supply systems of factories and enterprises. It is an important insulating component to ensure the safe and stable operation of modern power grids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does the designation U70BLA stand for?
A: In the designation U70BLA, 'U' refers to Disc Suspension Insulator, 'B' represents the Ball and Socket type connection, 'L' stands for Long Steel Foot, and 'A' stands for the Aerodynamic profile design.
Q2: What is the rated mechanical load of U70BLA insulators?
A: The rated mechanical failing load is 70kN, which is equivalent to approximately 7 tons of tension capacity, making it suitable for medium to high voltage transmission lines.
Q3: Where are aerodynamic glass insulators typically used?
A: They are widely used in high-voltage to ultra-high-voltage transmission lines, particularly in large-span sections crossing rivers/valleys, areas with high wind levels, polluted regions, substations, and electrified railways.
Q4: What standard connections and product regulations do these insulators meet?
A: The product complies with GB/T 7253-2005 and JB/T9683-2012 standards. The connection structures are strictly aligned with GB/T4056-2008 (IEC60120:1984, MOD) and BS 3288 part III.
Q5: Can I choose between W-pin and R-pin locking configurations?
A: Yes. Depending on custom specifications, the locking pin can be either W-pin or R-pin. Typically, W-pins are standard for models U70 to U120, while other models utilize R-pins.
Q6: How do these aerodynamic structures perform in harsh weather environments?
A: Their streamlined profile, large creepage distance, and optimized umbrella skirt design lower wind resistance, decrease wind deflection issues, and greatly minimize the danger of pollution flashovers in dusty or coastal environments.
