SH.LV2 Shackle Type Insulator — Key Features
AS 3608-2005 Compliance — Manufactured to meet the Australian Standard for low voltage shackle insulators, ensuring smooth acceptance by grid operators and regulatory bodies in Australia and New Zealand.
Superior Mechanical Strength — With a minimum failing load of 20 kN, the insulator reliably withstands conductor tension, wind loads, and ice accretion, ensuring long‑term stability in strain and dead-end overhead line installations. This higher strength rating compared to the SH.LV1 model makes it suitable for more demanding applications.
Low Voltage Application — Designed for outdoor use at nominal voltages not exceeding 1000V a.c. and frequencies not greater than 100 Hz, making it ideal for low voltage distribution networks.
Shackle / Spool Type Design — Specifically engineered for anchoring and securing LV conductors to cross arms, poles, and building structures. The spool configuration allows for easy and secure conductor tying.
Glazed Porcelain Finish — The insulator features a durable grey glaze coating that provides excellent weather resistance, UV protection, and self‑cleaning properties, ensuring long‑term performance in harsh outdoor environments.
Reliable Design — Engineered for long‑term reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements — regular visual inspections and cleaning are typically sufficient to ensure continued performance.
SH.LV2 Shackle Type Insulator — Application Scenarios
The SH.LV2 Shackle Type Insulator is ideal for:
- Anchoring and dead-ending of conductors in low voltage overhead distribution lines up to 1000V a.c.
- Securing LV cables to cross arms, poles, and building structures
- Outdoor installations with exposure to all atmospheric factors
- AC overhead power lines with frequencies not exceeding 100 Hz
- Power distribution networks in normal environmental conditions
- Installation on wooden, reinforced concrete, and metal poles
- Low voltage distribution networks in Australia, New Zealand, and other AS‑standard markets
- Applications requiring higher mechanical strength — the 20kN rating makes the SH.LV2 particularly suitable for installations with heavier conductors or more demanding strain conditions
