As an alternative and compliment to our range of proven ceramic
insulators, we have continued the development of composite
insulators made of high-grade synthetic materials. These products
have been noted for their reliable performance in the field
up to 1100 kV since 1967. Our Insulators System RODURFLEX®
consists of two components, i.e. a rod or tube made of glass
fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) and a silicone elastomer housing
covering the FRP rod. This design allows a separate improvement
of the insulator's mechanical properties (mainly determined
by the FRP component) and the electrical performance (determined
largely by the silicone housing). As a result, our RODURFLEX®
insulators exhibit outstanding mechanical and electrical characteristics
meeting all overhead line and switchgear engineering requirements.
