Huayao advantage products are glass insulators with a capacity of 40kN-550kN, which can meet the requirements of 10kV-500kV ultra-high voltage and extra high voltage transmission and transformation lines.
Huayao strictly complies with GB, ANSI, BS, DIN, AS, IEC standard designs, applicable to power transmission lines and substations.
Huayao has established a production line for ultra-high voltage tempered glass insulators with advanced production technology by introducing world-class production and testing equipment from Germany, Italy, and other countries. It has the ability to produce over 6 million pieces of AC and DC glass insulators annually.
The advantage of glass insulator as following:
Zero value self-breakage, easy to detect, tempered glass insulators have the characteristic of zero value self-breakage, which can be observed on the ground or helicopter without the need to climb the pole and test each piece, reducing the labor intensity of workers and introducing products from the production line. The annual operating self-rupture rate is 0.02-0.04%, which can save maintenance costs of the line.
The glass insulator has good resistance to arc and vibration, and the new surface of the glass insulator subjected to lightning burns during operation is still a smooth glass body with a tempered internal stress protection layer. Therefore, it still maintains sufficient insulation performance and mechanical strength. There have been multiple incidents of conductor dancing caused by ice on 500kV transmission lines, and the mechanical and electrical performance has not deteriorated after testing the glass insulator after conductor dancing.
According to the general feedback from the power department, glass insulators have good self-cleaning performance and are not easy to age. Glass insulators used in southern power lines are less prone to fouling and are easy to clean after rain. Regular sampling and testing of the mechanical and electrical performance of glass insulators on typical regional power lines after operation have been conducted. Accumulated data from thousands of years shows that the mechanical and electrical performance of glass insulators after 40 years of operation is basically consistent with those before leaving the factory, and there is no aging phenomenon.

The advantage of glass insulator:
Mechanical strength:
The mechanical strength of glass insulators is 1 to 2 times higher than that of porcelain insulators, which makes glass insulators perform better under external forces and impacts.
Stability and aging:
The performance of glass insulators is more stable, not easy to age, and the electrical performance is higher than that of porcelain insulators.
Transparency and inspection:
The transparency of glass insulators makes it easy to find small cracks and internal defects during shape inspection, which is easy to find and replace in time.
Maintenance requirements:
The use of glass insulators can cancel the live periodic preventive test, because its self-breaking characteristics make it easy for line inspectors to find damaged insulators and replace them in time.
Productivity and cost:
Glass insulators have fewer production processes and short production cycles, which is convenient for mechanized and automated production and improves production efficiency.
Self-breaking feature:
Glass insulators have "self-breaking" characteristics, that is, when the insulator is defective, it will automatically break, which is convenient for line patrol personnel to find and replace.
In order to meet the market request, Jiangxi Huayao electric Co.,ltd has established a production line for ultra-high voltage tempered glass insulators with advanced production technology by introducing world-class production and testing equipment from Germany, Italy, and other countries. It has the ability to produce over 6 million pieces of AC and DC glass insulators annually.
The Production process flow:
The production process of glass insulators in Jiangxi Huayao Electric Co.,Ltd is as follows:
Mix raw material=>melt glass liquid=>press to glass insulator shape=> tempering treatment=>cold and shock test=> Glue assembly=> routine test and other test=> Finished products package.
Production process flow:
The production process of glass insulators in the company is as follows:
Ingredients: Ingredients refer to the uniform mixing of different raw materials according to a certain ratio. Currently, a forced vertical mixer is generally used for ingredient preparation. The key to ingredients is the uniformity of mixing different raw materials.
Melting: Melting refers to the process of heating ingredients at high temperatures to form a uniform glass liquid, while clarification refers to the exhaust treatment of the liquid formed by melting raw materials.
Pressing: After melting and clarification, the glass liquid enters the pressing process through the feeding system, that is, the glass is hydraulically made into glass insulation parts, usually achieved through a fully automatic hydraulic forming machine. The pressing shape is controlled by the glass mold, and the amount of glass liquid used to press one insulator is also controlled to ensure the consistency of the insulator product.
Tempering: Subsequently, the glass piece is subjected to tempering treatment, which means controlled cooling of the glass piece to obtain permanent surface prestress. The equipment involved in the tempering process includes temperature equalization furnaces, tempering machines, etc.
Cold and hot shock: Tempered glass pieces undergo cold and hot shock tests, using a special nickel sulfide treatment furnace and a special nickel sulfide elimination process to homogenize the glass pieces. The quality of the nickel sulfide removal process directly affects the important indicator of the glass insulator after operation - the self explosion rate.
Glue assembly: Use an assembly machine with steel foot positioning assistance to assemble and glue the insulator insulation parts, steel feet, and steel caps. This step requires attention to ensuring the coaxiality of the steel feet, insulation parts, and steel caps. Poor coaxiality can also lead to high self explosion rates. Inspection: Conduct a 50% tensile load test on the glass insulators that have been glued together, check the height of the insulator structure, etc., to ensure that the insulators meet the standard requirements.
