10KN capped line post insulator
10KN capped line post insulator is used in many places. Except manufacturing 10KN line post insualtor according to international standard, we still manufacture other types of line post insulators. Line post insulator has two types according to the assembly way of insulator accessory. One is uncapped, and another is capped. For uncapped line post insulators, it is most commonly used in Africa.
What is the difference between the capped and uncapped for line post insulator?
If you know the 10KN capped line post insulator, you will know it's being fixed on the cross arm. The difference is the fixed part. 10KN capped line post insulator's fixing part is cementing with iron capped and normally 10KN is no problem, but for uncapped line post insulator, the strength is hard to reach 10KN, normally it is 4KN, since it is cemented only with a inserted fitting. Therefore, 10KN capped line post insulator can have better material performance.
uncapped line post insulator capped line post insulator
As you know, the porcelain line post insulator which is cemented by iron cap is better than cement only with the insert. Therefore, 10KN capped line post insulator is a little expensive than uncapped line post insulator. But this should be chosen according to the application place, if no need such high strength, uncapped line post insulator is economical and reasonable to use.
10KN capped line post insulator is normally according to IEC standard, and ANSI standard normally requires 12.5KN, such as ANSI 57 series.
