Competitive Advantage:
The advantages of polymer/composite insulators over ceramic/porcelain insulators | ||
General comparison | ||
Factor | Ceramic/porcelain insulators | Polymer/composite insulators |
Weight | Heavy weight- For example 400kV - about 140kgs | 90% lighter than them but with same mechanical strength 400kV -- Around 15kgs |
Fragility | Highly fragility to shock and vibration | No fragility to shock and vibration |
Packing and transportation | Risky and very costly | Easy and economical |
Installation | Risky expensive and more labor required | Very easy and economical |
Handling | Difficult | Easy |
Maintenance cost | Very expensive | Low |
Vandalism | More susceptible | Highly resistant |
Breakages and secondary damage | Highly fragile- 10-15% breakages are reported during transportation storage and installation | Flexible and therefore highly resistant to breakages |
Technical comparison | ||
Mechanical failure | Reduction in mechanical strength and separation during to pings getting eroded | Just with single piece, so no such kind of problem |
Resistance to flashover and punctures | Low | High |
Anti tracking and erosion resistance | Very low- poor tracking resistance | Excellent tracking resistance avoids erosion or tracking of the housing material |
Dielectric strength | Lower than polymer | Excellent insulation performance |
Contamination and pollution | Highly effected | Not effected and has much longer life |
Hydrophobicity | No hydrophobicity, ceramic surface forms water films on the surface making easy path leading to more flashover | Very excellent hydrophobicity |
Self cleaning quality | No, dirty sand salt snow etc are easily attracted | Yes, due to hydrophobicity recovery characteristics |
Tension strength | Good | Better during crimping technology |
Maintenance | Needs maintenance like cleaning washing and greasing | Not required at all |
Safety | Are easy to explosion and breakages due to high fragile properties and stone throwing or gun shooting | Provide very high level of safety superior flexibility and strength. not easy to break due to stone throwing or gun shooting. |
