Different Types of Pin, Post, and Suspension Insulators that Can Be Used As Electrical/Overhead Insulators

Basically, three different types of insulators are used as electrical or overhead insulators in various industrial applications. The ideal of used as the transmission of electrical power and telecommunication purposes, the insulators that can be used as electrical or overhead insulators are pin insulators, suspension insulators and strain insulators.

One of the earliest designed overhead insulators is Pin Insulator, which are used in various electrical power transmission applications for thirty-three voltage systems. The pin insulators are not suitable for electrical transmission and telecommunication applications.

Another type of insulators that is suitable for transmission of high electrical power transmission is posted insulator. For electrical transmission of electrical more than 33V, the post insulators are used. 

Consists of a single stage as well as multiple stages, the post insulators are designed with conductors are fixed at the top of an insulator with the help of connector clamps. In addition to this, in post insulators, more than two insulators can be fixed together for higher voltage transmission applications.

As the use of pin or post insulators for transmission of higher voltage is quite uneconomical, hence the customers are advised to use suspension insulator. The suspension insulator is suitable for transmission of any voltage. The replacement of damaged disc insulators is very easy in case of suspension insulators. Since the suspension insulators are hanged on suspension string, the mechanical stress associated with suspension insulators are very less as compared to pin or post insulators.

Apart from also many advantages over the traditional pin or post insulators, the suspension insulators are associated with certain disadvantages too. One of the most important disadvantages of suspension insulators is that the initial cost of setting up the suspension insulators is very high as compared to pin or post insulators.  More height is required for the purpose of setting up suspension insulators than a traditional pin or post insulators, for the purpose of maintaining the same ground clearance of current conductors. For the purpose of setting up the suspension, insulators are very large as compared traditional pin or post insulators.
