It will take the thousands of volts behind power transmission systems and step the voltage down to something that meters can handle.LIGHTING ARRESTER Lightning Arresters >It discharge the over voltage surges to earth and protect the equipment insulation from switching surges and lightning surges. ¥It located at the starting of the substation as seen from incoming transmission lines and is the first equipment of the substation ee —e Wurenstuateerstoci.com - 206478724.INSULATOR > An insulator, also called a dielectric, is a material that resists the flow of electric current. > Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves. |PIN TYPE Pin type insulators are used for transmission and distribution of electric power at voltages up to 33 kV. Beyond operating voltage of 33 kV, the pin type insulators become too bulky and hence uneconomical. SUSPENISION TYPE *For high voltages (>33 kV), we use suspension type insulators. Each unit or disc is designed for low voltage, say 11 kV. For instance, if the working voltage is 66 kV, then six discs in series will be provided on the string. STRAIN TYPE *When there is a dead end of the line or there is corner or sharp curve, the line is subjected to greater tension. = In order to relieve the line of excessive tension, strain insulators are used. For low voltage lines (< 11 kV), shackle insulators are used as strain insulators.

In order to relieve the line of excessive tension, strain insulators are used. For low voltage lines (< 11 kV), shackle insulators are used as strain insulators. =However, for high voltage transmission lines, strain insulator consists of an assembly of suspension insulators as shown in Figure. *The discs of strain insulators are used in the vertical plane. When the tension in lines is exceedingly high, at long river spans, two or more strings are used in parallel. SHACKLE TYPE =In early days, the shackle insulators were used as strain insulators.
