Glass insulators are widely used in power systems due to their excellent electrical performance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. Next, let's take a detailed look at their advantages.

1. Superior electrical performance

Compared to traditional insulators, glass composite insulators have higher voltage and breakdown voltage, and their insulation performance is more stable in high temperature and high humidity environments. In addition, the low dielectric constant and small dielectric loss of glass composite materials can effectively reduce transmission losses in the lines.

2. Excellent corrosion resistance

Glass composite insulators are made from composite materials, which have excellent corrosion resistance, able to withstand chemical corrosion and atmospheric corrosion in general environments, and have a longer lifespan than traditional metal insulators.

3. High mechanical strength

Glass composite insulators are reinforced with composite materials, providing high strength, good toughness, and light weight, allowing them to withstand large tension and pull, and have good wind vibration resistance.

4. Easy installation

Glass composite insulators are lightweight and compact, making them easy to transport and very convenient to install, allowing for quick installation on overhead lines or substation equipment.

5. Economical and practical

Although the price of glass composite insulators is slightly higher than that of traditional metal insulators, they offer better performance and a longer lifespan. Therefore, considering long-term use and maintenance costs, glass composite insulators are a relatively economical and practical choice.

In summary, they have advantages such as superior electrical performance, excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, easy installation, and being economical and practical, making them an indispensable part of power systems such as overhead lines and substations.

They are common electrical equipment in power systems and have a wide range of applications. Firstly, glass composite insulators can be used as supports and fixings in high-voltage transmission lines. They can replace traditional porcelain insulators, requiring fewer supports for the same line length, thus reducing the volume of the transmission line and lowering costs.

Secondly, they can also be used for insulation in overhead lines. In high temperature, cold, high altitude, and strong wind areas, glass composite insulators can effectively improve the reliability and safety of overhead lines. Coupled with the excellent performance of glass composite insulators (such as high voltage resistance, low dielectric loss, high mechanical strength, and no need for cleaning), they have become a good choice to replace traditional insulator technology.

In addition, they are also widely used in electrical equipment such as power transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, and isolating switches. Their application further enhances the performance of electrical equipment, allowing them to operate more stably and efficiently. Overall, glass composite insulators play an irreplaceable role in various fields.

In summary, although it is ordinary, it is not to be overlooked. Its wide application makes our lives more convenient and safe, and allows us to truly feel the changes and value brought by electrical equipment. When we encounter difficulties, it will be by our side, supporting us forward.
