Solid core post Insulators

Solidcore post Insulators are used in substations as support insulators. They are basically used in

  • Isolators (Disconnectors)
  •  Pantographs
  •  Bus bar support
  •  Wave trap support
  •  Capacitor bank supports.
  •  Transmission & distribution as Line post insulators (Horizontal & Vertical).

These insulators are designed to provide a rigid support accounting for the bending and torsional loads. Modern’s Solidcore insulators are not only designed to meet the essential mechanical & electrical properties but also to effectively meet the loads arising out of short circuit, seismic, wind, thermal, ice and any other dynamic loads.

The insulators are made of high quality Aluminous porcelain meeting the requirements of C130 in accordance with the IEC: 60672. Apart from the visual and dimensional checks, the solidcore post insulator shells are subjected to ultrasonic tests prior to assembly. Precision machines are used to cut and grind the end faces to achieve the required surface finish and chamfer of the ends.

The metal flanges (hardware) are manufactured in-house eliminating the dependency on external suppliers for consistency in quality and delivery. They are galvanized using Zinc of 99.95 % purity with a minimum average coating thickness not less than 85 microns (610 g/m2).

The sand portion of the solidcore shells and the inner portion of the flanges are coated with a uniform layer of bituminous paint to offset the effect of differential thermal expansion between cement and metal parts. The insulators are assembled using high quality Portland cement in specialized fixtures that ensure the stringent dimensional requirements are met. They are subjected to curing under controlled conditions.

These insulators are then subjected to the requisite routine & acceptance tests prior to dispatch. Further visual inspection & random dimension checks are also carried out prior to packing the insulators in wooden crates / boxes / pallets.
