Nanjing Electric Introduces Worlds Highest Strength Suspension Insulator
October 11th, 2012
In order to meet China’s growing demand for UHV DC transmission construction project needs, Nanjing Electric has developed the world highest strength suspension insulator. The 830kN (83 tons) mechanical and electrical strength toughened glass insulator surpasses Nanjing’s 760kN insulator developed in 2010. The research and development of 830kN was extremely difficult so the company had to invest considerable resources into the product design, formulation and processing equipment to pass the national technical appraisal.
