Bus Post Insulator

(IEC 60168, IS 2544)

- Nikin Jayswal

Introduction
Post insulator is more or less similar to Pin insulator Conductor is fixed on the top of the insulator with help of connector clamp

Factors governing selection of post insulator

a) System voltage b) System earthing

c) Insulation levels
d) Mechanical strength

e) Degree of exposure to atmospheric pollution

f) Altitude of the installation g) Ambient air temperature h) Conditions of installation00
