Mechanical design
In-service stresses on post insulators are mainly due to cantilever loads, (e.g., weight, wind force, seismic conditions, short circuit loads). A few applications require compression strength (e.g., capacitors banks) or torsion strength (e.g., rotating disconnectors) or tensile strength (e.g., underhung post insulator). Cantilever strength is in direct relationship to the core diameter. Thus, a high-strength insulator provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Advantages include a smaller diameter, reduced quantity of and smaller

sized fittings, and lighter post insulators with less visual impact. The high strength C 130 body also allows for a reduction in the number of components on insulators comprised of mutiple units. The advantages provided by the reduction of additional fittings include increased strike distance/creep and less assembly time. All insulators up to and including the TR 308 are availble in a one piece design. The weight savings are clearly shown on the below graph (TR weight per BIL level).

Style
Some styles can be designed with different features, number of sections, uniform or tapered as well as upright or underhung. The following codes are used throughtout the catalog to clearly show the style. For example, the code 2-T-UP means it has 2 sections , is tapered , and is upright.

Shed design
The creepage distance required by ANSI C29.9 can be obtained with different shed designs. But some rules, which are the result from many years of experience acquired worldwide, are listed below in order to give you the best service for your long term benefit. The plain alternative shed design offers high specific creepage distance and good self cleaning properties which usually provides best performance. Today, any design can have the optimum shed configuration consisting of any combination of sheds.

Basically, K-value design is a method to improve traditional creepage distance. In its full extent, K-value design is a method to reduce weight, volume and space while improving properties in-service by increasing pollution performance and equalizing electrical field.
Design
K-value is the unit for insulator shape and IEC 60507 defines the formula as form factor:
F = dl/p(l)
Form factor used as a design method is referred to as K-value and can be used for different types of improvements. Creepage distance considers a leakage current as traveling along the insulator, in a strict line, identifying only distance. K-value considers a leakage current as traveling along the insulator, over its complete surface. It calculates reduced diameter and/or increased creepage distance for higher resistance against the leakage currents. K-value identifies an insulators total shape, i.e., geometric (ohmic) resistance against leakage currents. The shape of the insulator must be calculated for optimum design of pollution performance. The traditional calculation of creepage distance is sometimes sufficient, but to achieve best performance in relation to material and space used, K-value design is necessary.
PPC Insulators offers complete computer design of K-value, integrated with electrical, mechanical, dimension and material calculations.

Fittings
Fittings are made in malleable cast or ductile iron, hot dip galvanized according ASTM A-153M. The Standard Sizes

The holes are tapped 0.015 oversize to allow for use of galvanized cap screws.
NOTE: When the insulator is made of more than one section, hardware required for assembly is delivered with the shipment.

Production
The PPC production facilities for TR station post insulators manufacture in full accordance with ANSI C 29.9. Insulation requirements are available in ratings from 95 kV to 2050 kV BIL. Special requirements can be also offered upon request. This catalog, which includes standard ANSI TRs as well as extra high strength, additional creepage distance and different BCD, is updated continuously.
Production
Glazing
Glazing is grey in accordance to ANSI Z55.1 and conforms to Munsell notation 5BG 7.0/0.4. Brown glaze is also available. Semi-conductive surface glazing can be provided for special polluted environment.
Cementing
The fittings are assembled to the porcelain with a Portland base mortar. A bituminous coating is applied on the porcelain and the fittings to compensate for the difference in thermal expansion. This is especially important for extreme weather applications.

Control
Quality procedures are applied throughout the production process according to ISO 9000 . Per ANSI C 29.9 , insulators are tested to confirm Design. Quality and Routine tests are performed on each unit throughout production. Tested Items
