Advantages Of Composite Insulators

Composite Insulators are usually of two types. One is a composite material of polymer and other is silicone rubber. The polymer generally used for making Composite Insulators is Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Rubber (EPDM). Silicone Rubber Insulators are widely used in a number of industries. This wide usage of Composite Insulators is because of the intrinsic advantages that Composite Insulators have over other insulators. Some of them are listed below.

• Cheaper – Composite Insulators are less costly than other types of insulators.

• Light Weight – Silicone and composite polymer, both the types of insulators are very light weight. This makes them easy to handle.

• Hydrophobic –These kind of insulators repel water. Therefore, they are perfect for use in any type of environmental conditions even when there are chances of water contact. This property of hydrophobicity reduces chances of current leakage through the insulation when in contact with water.

• Perfect For Use In Polluted Areas –They have high resistance against harmful gases that are usually present in polluted air. This makes Composite or Silicone Insulated Cables give high performance in polluted areas.

• Easy To Handle – These are non-brittle materials. This means there are least chances of damage while handling or transporting them.

• Workable In Natural Calamities – Composite Insulators continue functioning even after earthquakes, landslides, etc.
