FXBW-24-120 Composite Suspension Insulator for 24kV

High-Strength Polymer Insulator for Medium Voltage Overhead Distribution

The FXBW-24-120 is a high-performance composite suspension insulator designed for 24kV overhead distribution lines in harsh outdoor environments. Manufactured with a silicone rubber weather shed and a high-strength FRP core, this insulator offers excellent hydrophobicity, mechanical reliability, and pollution resistance.

It is widely used in rural electrification, coastal power grids, industrial zones, and mountainous terrains, especially where porcelain insulators are prone to cracking or aging.

🔧 Technical Specifications

🧱 Key Features
