According to environmental usage and other conditions, insulators can be divided into many types. Below is a summary of the main classifications of insulators, hoping to be helpful to everyone.


1、 According to different installation methods, insulators can be divided into suspension insulators and post insulators


Suspension insulators are widely used for insulation and mechanical fixation of high-voltage overhead transmission lines and flexible busbars in power generation and substations. In suspension insulators, they can be divided into disc-shaped suspension insulators and pole type suspension insulators. Disk shaped suspension insulators (currently commonly used glass insulators) are one of the most widely used insulators in transmission lines. Rod shaped suspension insulators have been widely used in countries such as Germany.
