ANSI Series Composite Deadend Insulator
Overhead Line Applications Up To 485 kV BIL
TE Connectivity (TE) offers a complete range of silicone suspension / tension insulators for overhead line applications up to 485 kV BIL.
Their complete portfolio of insulators is designed to fit a wide selection of metal end fittings. The portfolio includes numerous lengths and creepage configurations to fit the requirements of your application. TE’s compact insulator profile has the same shed diameter to maximize flashover performance in polluted environments over a minimum insulator length.
Their suspension / tension insulators are made of silicone, a hydrophobic material with proven tracking and erosion resistance and high technical performance in a wide range of climatic and pollution conditions.
