LP.LV Pin-Type Insulator – Key Features
AS 3608-2005 Compliance – Manufactured to meet the Australian Standard for low voltage pin and shackle insulators, ensuring smooth acceptance by grid operators and regulatory bodies in Australia and New Zealand.
Reliable Mechanical Strength – With a minimum failing load of 7 kN, the insulator reliably withstands conductor tension, wind loads, and ice accretion, ensuring long‑term stability in overhead line installations.
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.
Standard Pattern B Thread – The insulator features an AS Pattern “B” V-thread, ensuring compatibility with standard low voltage insulator pins (e.g., B/100/3.5 or equivalent, per AS 3608).
Lightning Impulse Protection – With a lightning impulse withstand voltage of 40 kV, the insulator provides reliable protection against over voltages in low voltage networks.
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. The areas marked “—” are left unglazed as specified.
Reliable Design – Engineered for long‑term reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements – regular visual inspections and cleaning are typically sufficient to ensure continued performance.
