Shackle Insulator: Reliable Insulation for Low Voltage Power Lines
A shackle insulator is an important part of electric distribution systems, while providing mechanical support and electrical insulation on overhead power lines. Also known as spool insulator, they are a perfect insulator in low voltage environments typically up to 11kV, and are used in both residential and commercial power distribution systems.
Shackle Insulators deliver the following advantages:
Excellent Electrical Insulation; Prevents current leaking from line and full confidence when working on power equipment.
Highly Mechanical Strength; Not only bears the weight of the suspension point, but not allowing the connection to sag or break.
Good Weather Resistance; Works in the most extreme weather conditions which includes high humidity/ rain and UV protection.
Compact Size; Shackle insulators can be used and implemented in numerous layout configurations that take minimal amount of area.
Longevity; Made from durable materials such as glazed porcelain.
