Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "U160" designation represent?
The "U" stands for Disc Suspension Insulator, and "160" indicates a rated mechanical failing load of 160kN (approximately 16 tons).
What materials are used in the construction of the U160BS?
It consists of a toughened glass dielectric, a hot-dip galvanized cast iron cap, and a forged steel pin, all assembled using high-grade aluminous cement.
What are the available heights and diameters for this model?
The standard height is 146mm with a 280mm diameter, but variants exist with heights of 155mm or 170mm and disc diameters ranging from 255mm to 420mm.
Which international standards does the product comply with?
The product is manufactured in accordance with IEC60383-1:1993, GB/T1001.1, and connection standards like IEC60120 and BS 3288.
When should an anti-corrosion zinc sleeve be used?
A zinc sleeve (sacrificial anode) is strongly recommended for insulators used in transmission lines located in areas with heavy environmental pollution to protect the steel pin.
What types of locking pins can be provided?
Depending on customer requirements, the insulator can be fitted with either a W-pin or an R-pin. W-pins are the default for the U160BS model.
