Why Are Organic Composite Materials Used To Manufacture The Insulating Covers Of Insulators?

Organic composite materials are typically composed of a resin matrix and reinforcing fibers. The electrical properties of these materials can remain stable under extreme climates, while the suspension composite insulator insulating shield, as an external protective layer, needs to withstand ultraviolet radiation, rainwater, and pollutant erosion. The chemical structure of the composite material results in minimal changes to the surface state of the composite suspension insulator shield after wetting, which helps to extend the service life of the polymer suspension insulator.

On the other hand, the physical properties of this material are also suitable for the load requirements of high-voltage environments. Compared to traditional ceramics or glass, organic composite materials have a lower density, which allows for the control of suspension type insulator weight.
