The insulator has to have the insulation factor of the primary line that is connected to it. It has to have a design that will not allow moisture to pool around it. The design also should include a shape that will make it self cleaning.
First of all, the overhead lines are cheaper because they are bare, while underground cables are armoured and insulated, hence explaining the higher price. Overhead cables come of course with accessories like poles and insulators (mostly porcelain). For shorter distance, underground cables are preferred as the cost of pole erection does not exist.It's also worth pointing out that the cost of excavating a trench is more expensive than erecting an overhead line, and this cost escalates dramatically with higher voltage systems. For example, a 132-kV double-circuit underground line is between 5 and 8 times the cost of an overhead tower line, whereas an 11-kV single-circuit underground line is up to twice the cost of a wooden-pole overhead line.
Wood is an insulator.
yes, its an insulator. its a type of insulator used for wires, cables, etc
Remain clear of the wire that is hanging from an overhead line and get in touch with the distribution's utility company immediately. They have the proper safety equipment to deal with situations like this.
is foam dirt an metal a good insulator
Overhead lines are uninsulated, as they depend upon the air to provide insulation. However, they must still be insulated from the towers or poles from which they are suspended. This insulation is provided using glass or ceramic insulators. The greater the line voltage, the longer the ceramic insulator, or the greater the number of glass insulator 'dishes'.
It can if it has the proper characteristics that define what an insulator is.
The symbol for an insulator is typically represented as a zigzag line.
answer
powerlines mounted on pylons, see Overhead power line. For lines carrying information, see Overhead cable. An overhead line or overhead wire is used to transmit electrical energy to trains, trolleybuses
Glass has excellent insulation characteristics
one insulator unit can bare 11kV. such that 66kV tx line needs 6 insulator units.
wool is a insulator
a line can end at a fixeded point
There are always two. Live in the overhead line and neutral/earth in the tracks in contact with the wheels.
Well, there is no way of doing it without an overhead or underground transmission line.
The three basic characteristics of line are length, width, and direction. Length refers to the extent of the line, width refers to the thickness of the line, and direction refers to the path along which the line is drawn.
