Organic Polymer Materials For Insulators

The dead end insulators shed sheath is made of organic polymer, has a low surface area of dead end suspension insulators, and exhibits strong hydrophobicity of polymer deadend insulator. Water that falls on the porcelain dead end insulators shed surface condenses into numerous discrete, tiny droplets, rather than forming a continuous, conductive water film. This reduces suspension insulator leakage current and prevents local arcing, making the suspension composite insulator less susceptible to surface contamination flashover.
