Types of Spool Insulators

Single Groove Spool

For simple conductor support applications with single conductor

Double Groove Spool

For supporting two conductors or providing additional creepage distance

Threaded Spool

With threaded hole for mounting on pins or bolts

Unglazed Spool

For areas with heavy pollution where glaze tracking may occur

Porcelain Spool Insulators for Electrical Distribution Networks

Spool insulators, also known as knob insulators, are widely used in low voltage distribution systems for supporting conductors on poles, crossarms, and other structures. At Changsha Rich Power, we manufacture high-quality porcelain spool insulators that provide reliable electrical insulation and mechanical support for distribution lines up to 33kV.

Applications of Spool Insulators

Spool insulators are commonly used in:

  • Secondary Distribution: Supporting service drops from utility poles to buildings
  • Primary Distribution: Insulating conductors on distribution poles
  • Guy Wire Insulation: Isolating guy wires from grounded structures
  • Communication Lines: Supporting telephone and communication cables
  • Railway Signaling: Insulating signal and communication lines along railways

Advantages of Porcelain Spool Insulators

Porcelain spool insulators offer several advantages over other materials. They have excellent dielectric strength, good mechanical properties, resistance to weathering and UV radiation, and long service life. Porcelain is also non-combustible and maintains its insulating properties at high temperatures.

Manufacturing Quality

Our spool insulators are manufactured using high-grade electrical porcelain with controlled alumina content. The manufacturing process includes precise forming, high-temperature firing, and quality testing to ensure consistent performance. Each insulator is tested for electrical and mechanical properties before shipment.

Changsha Rich (AsiaPower) supplies

durable porcelain spool insulators (like Type 53-1)

for low-voltage distribution lines, guy wires, and service drops. Reliable support and insulation.

Spool insulators are a fundamental component in low-voltage distribution networks and telecommunications lines. Characterized by their distinctive drum-like shape with a central hole for mounting, they provide essential insulation and mechanical support for conductors. Asia Power’s porcelain spool insulators, including the widely used Type 53-1, are engineered for durability and reliable performance in supporting, dead-ending, or guying applications.

Features of Asia Power Spool Insulators:

  • Durable Porcelain Construction: Offers high mechanical strength and excellent insulation.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Ideal for widespread use in LV distribution and service connections.
  • Easy Installation: Central hole allows for easy mounting on bolts or pins.
  • Grooved Design: Securely holds wires in place, preventing slippage.
  • Weather-Resistant Glaze: Provides long-term performance in outdoor environments.
  •  

Common Applications of Spool Insulators:

  • Supporting secondary distribution lines
  • Insulating guy wires on utility poles
  • Service drop connections from pole to building
  • Low-voltage overhead lines in rural areas
  • Railway signaling circuits

spool insulator

These insulators have a tensile strength of approximately 25kN and feature standardized right-hand and left-hand threads (e.g., 3/8"-24 UNF) on each end.
They are commonly used for insulating guy wires, in low-voltage lines, and in applications requiring insulation under tension with a compact form factor.
Yes, the entire porcelain body is covered with a smooth, uniform glaze to provide a consistent and high-integrity insulating surface.
The Minimum Order Quantity is typically one pallet. We are happy to provide a few sample units for your evaluation and testing.
The robust ceramic body and the deep, well-formed threads are designed to withstand constant tension and vibrations without cracking or stripping.
