SHF20UO Pin-Type Porcelain Insulator Key Features
Superior Electrical Performance – The SHF20UO insulator delivers a dry power frequency withstand voltage of 85 kV, wet power frequency withstand voltage of 65 kV, lightning impulse withstand voltage of 135 kV, and puncture voltage of 180 kV, guaranteeing safe and reliable operation of 20kV lines even under rain, fog, and lightning conditions.
High Mechanical Strength – With a minimum bending failing load of 13kN, the insulator reliably withstands conductor tension, wind loads, and ice accretion, ensuring long‑term stability in overhead line installations.
Excellent Anti‑Pollution Flashover Performance – The creepage distance of 325mm effectively increases leakage distance, reduces the risk of pollution flashover, and is particularly suitable for industrial, desert, and coastal areas with high contamination levels.-
Simple Structure, Easy Installation – The pin‑type insulator features a porcelain body and a steel pin (or threaded insert) cemented with high‑strength Portland cement. The top groove design facilitates convenient conductor placement and binding, reducing pole height and installation time.-
Brown Glaze Finish – The insulator features a durable brown glaze that provides excellent weather resistance, UV protection, and self-cleaning properties, ensuring long-term performance in harsh outdoor environments.
Wide Climatic Adaptability – Designed for ambient temperatures ranging from –60°C to +50°C, making it ideal for the extreme climatic conditions found across Russian and CIS territories.
