Insulators
Tyco Electronics Energy Division covers
a wide range of polymeric, hybrid and
porcelain insulators. For decades all
these products have demonstrated
reliable performance in various types
of applications all over the world.

Composite insulators are based
on Raychem´s 30 years experience in
the field of crosslinked polymers for
medium and high voltage applications.
They consist of a polymeric housing
over a pultruded fiberglass rod to
which galvanized steel or aluminum
end fittings are attached. By molding
directly over the end fitting, or by
using a track resistant polyurethane,
moisture ingress to the fiberglass rod
is prevented. Housing materials in
either ethylene vinyl acetate or silicone
are available depending on customer
preference. |

Modular lightweight insulators consist
of a solid polymeric core with a polymeric
housing. Stainless steel threads
can be threaded directly into the polymeric
core without the use of bulky
metal fittings. These insulators are ideal
for use in outdoor equipment and can
be designed according to specific
customer requirements. |

|
Hybrid insulators consist of a high
strength ceramic core with a polymeric
housing. The best features of ceramic
and polymeric insulators are combined,
resulting in high mechanical strength
and excellent electrical behavior under
polluted conditions. For extremely
polluted environments a protected
creepage design is available which
provides outstanding electrical performance
using an economical solution. |

Porcelain insulators are the traditional
choice for distribution line, busbar
and apparatus insulation. Manufactured
from high quality non-porous electrical
porcelain, they provide a long life and
cost effective solution for the majority
of applications. Porcelain insulators
designed, manufactured and sold under
the brand names of Morlynn, Dulmison
and Zibo have an 80 year service experience
in electric power supply and rail
applications. |
