Glass insulator

An insulator such as the suspension insulator in a high voltage power transmission line is designed to keep to a minimum current discharges under normal conditions. Power transmission and distribution systems include various insulating components that must maintain structural integrity to perform correctly in often extreme environmental and operational conditions. For example, overhead power transmission lines require insulators to isolate the electricity-conducting cables from the steel towers that support them. Traditional insulators are made of ceramics or glass, but because of certain drawbacks, such as excessive weight and relative fragility, particularly in applications where gunfire vandalism is a problem, glass insulators are being replaceed by composite insulators.
