Composite hollow insulators are manufactured using composite materials such as silicone rubber, cycloaliphatic epoxy polymers, and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber among others. They are highly being preferred for one-to-one replacement of ceramic hollow insulator. Moreover, they have become a popular choice at very high voltages and harsh/seismic environments as well. Composite Hollow Insulators Market: Drivers & Restraints Every year, several instances of disastrous equipment failures such as explosion, internal arcing, seismic stresses or short circuit displacement of bus supports leads to material damage and injury to the personnel. This is majorly owing to the violent explosion of ceramic hollow insulator with its fragments thrown at a very high speed. Since, composite hollow insulators remain mechanically intact in the event of puncture, they do not cause damage to surrounding equipments and persons in the vicinity, assuring maximum safety at ...
