Asia Pacific Utility Electric Insulators Industry News

  • In May 2024, Australian engineers have developed a resilient pole, which can use a power-pole insulator for low voltage wires, preventing fires from starting and effectively dampening fires and reducing power outages. Power utilities undertake periodic cleaning of insulators on overhead lines to remove dirt and contaminations that can cause sparking and fires, even blackouts. The new material is a silicone rubber composite that includes chopped glass fibers, aluminum hydroxide, and clay made from volcanic ash. This material could replace the protective layers of ceramic and glass insulators, making them less vulnerable to moisture, pollution, and fire. The new design is expected to cut maintenance burdens while safeguarding power infrastructure assets.
     
  • In February 2023, State Grid’s ultra-high voltage specialists inspected the insulator that was delivered to the Zhumadian-Wuhan UHV transmission line during an onsite review of CYG Insulator. This inspection included examining samples of the products along with the procedures, technical documentation, and samples themselves. The team of inspection members also commended CYG for its overall approach to the project – subsequent to winning the bid, they commenced with addressing project requirements in a holistic manner, optimizing personnel, equipment, materials, technologies, and production conditions. CYG had analyzed the technical requirements and provided appropriate instructions to all the departments for the efficient supply of composite insulators for the project.
