What is the purpose of an insulator on a power line?
2025-08-09An insulator is a vital device on a power line that serves two primary functions: to provide electrical insulation and mechanical support. Made from materials like glass, porcelain, or polymers, insulators prevent the high-voltage electricity from flowing from the conductor to the metal towers or poles, which are grounded. They also bear the mechanical weight of the conductors, ensuring the power lines remain securely suspended. We manufacture the specialized tools and accessories for installing and maintaining these insulators on a variety of power line projects.
