Core Advantages & Features: Surpassing Tradition, Leading Composite Insulation Technology


Weisho Electric's FXB-33-70CT Composite Long Rod Insulator brings multiple core advantages to your high-voltage transmission lines, thanks to its innovative design and superior materials:

  • 1. Outstanding Anti-Pollution Flashover Performance:

    • Technical Detail: Utilizes silicone rubber shed material with excellent hydrophobicity, featuring superior self-cleaning capabilities where rainwater forms beads and rolls off the surface, preventing the formation of continuous water films. The special shed structure design (e.g., alternating large and small sheds) effectively increases the creepage distance, enhancing anti-pollution flashover capability.

    • Key Benefit: Significantly improves the insulator's flashover voltage in heavily polluted, salt-fog, and high-humidity environments, effectively preventing pollution flashover incidents and greatly enhancing the operational reliability of transmission lines, reducing maintenance and cleaning frequency.

  • 2. Excellent Aging and Corrosion Resistance:

    • Technical Detail: The silicone rubber shed material possesses excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and acid rain erosion, making it resistant to aging and cracking during long-term outdoor exposure. The FRP core rod uses corrosion-resistant epoxy resin, firmly bonded to the shed interface to effectively prevent moisture ingress into the core rod.

    • Key Benefit: Ensures the insulator's long-term stable operation under various complex climatic conditions, significantly extending the product's service life and reducing life-cycle costs.

  • 3. High Strength & Lightweight Design:

    • Technical Detail: Internally utilizes a high-strength fiberglass reinforced polymer (FRP) core rod as the load-bearing component, with tensile strength far superior to porcelain insulators. Simultaneously, the overall weight of the composite insulator is only 1/7 to 1/10 of an equivalent porcelain insulator.

    • Key Benefit: Significantly reduces tower load and installation difficulty, lowering construction costs for towers and foundations. The lightweight nature makes transportation, handling, and high-altitude work safer and more efficient, shortening construction periods.

  • 4. Excellent Anti-Seismic & Anti-Brittle Fracture Performance:

    • Technical Detail: Composite materials exhibit excellent elasticity and toughness, effectively absorbing and dispersing mechanical stress, making them resistant to brittle fracture during natural disasters like earthquakes and strong winds.

    • Key Benefit: Greatly enhances the transmission line's disaster resistance in extreme natural conditions, reducing line trip accidents caused by insulator damage, and improving the grid's resilience.

  • 5. Diverse Specifications to Meet Various Needs:

    • Advantage: Weisho Electric's FXB-33-70CT offers a variety of effective connection length options, including 900mm, 1000mm, and 1200mm, among others, to adapt to different installation distances and insulation coordination requirements.

    • Key Benefit: Provides flexible matching solutions for transmission line design and renovation, ensuring optimal electrical clearance and mechanical connection.



Applications: Driving Safe and Efficient Power Transmission


The Weisho Electric FXB-33-70CT Composite Long Rod Insulator is widely used in various 33kV and above voltage level power transmission and distribution lines, particularly suitable for the following demanding environments:

  • Heavily Polluted Areas: Such as industrial zones, chemical plant vicinities, and sandy regions, where its excellent anti-pollution flashover performance effectively counters conductive contamination.

  • Coastal and Salt-Fog Areas: The hydrophobicity of silicone rubber material ensures excellent performance in salt-fog environments, reducing flashover caused by salt accumulation.

  • High Altitude and Strong UV Regions: Superior UV resistance and anti-aging properties ensure long-term operational reliability.

  • New Construction and Renovation of Transmission Lines: The lightweight design can reduce tower load, making it suitable for capacity upgrades of old lines and construction of new lines, shortening construction periods.

  • Earthquake-Prone Areas: Excellent seismic performance enhances the line's resilience and disaster resistance.
