SLP/33/534 Pin-Type Insulator Porcelain – AS 4899 Key Features
Superior Electrical Performance – The SLP/33/534 insulator delivers reliable electrical performance for 33kV systems, with a nominal minimum creepage distance of 534 mm that effectively increases leakage distance and reduces the risk of pollution flashover, guaranteeing safe operation of 33kV lines even under rain, fog, and contaminated conditions.
High Mechanical Strength – With a minimum bending failing load of 11 kN, the insulator reliably withstands conductor tension, wind loads, and ice accretion, ensuring long‑term stability in overhead line installations.
Standard Shed Profile – The “S” (standard) profile provides good self‑cleaning properties and is suitable for general outdoor applications in non‑heavy pollution areas.
Simple Structure, Easy Installation – The pin‑type insulator features a one‑piece porcelain body designed for convenient mounting on standard pins (recommended type C/200/11). The conductor is secured in the side groove or on the neck of the insulator using standard binding methods.
Glazed Porcelain Finish – The insulator features a durable glaze coating (available in brown, grey, or white) 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.
