PKI insulators are composite post insulators with silicone housing. They are designed for installation on overhead power lines with rated voltages up to 52 kV.
Characteristics
PKI composite post insulators offer the following features:
• UV radiation and chemical resistance,
• weathering and aging resistance,
• silicone rubber housing without additives,
• suitable for aggressive and polluted environments (industry, seaside, desert climate, etc.),
• usable for overhead power lines and other substation applications,
• impact insensitivity.
Installation
The installation of composite post insulators PKI follows directives and technical regulations. They are typically installed in new constructions, reconstructions, and during maintenance. The fitted spring clamp, along with the appropriate cover, ensures adequate factory pre-set vertical and
horizontal pull-out forces. It is important to note that the installation of PKI insulators, regardless of the previously installed insulators, does not affect the insulation coordination in power system.
