132kv Glass Insulators Tension String Transmission Hardware Fitting

132kv Glass Insulators Tension String Transmission Hardware Fitting

132kV tension strings consist of toughened glass insulators and corresponding hardware fittings that together withstand mechanical tension, ensure insulation, and stabilize conductors in long-span transmission applications. A 132kV glass insulator tension string is a mechanical and electrical assembly used at tension points of overhead transmission lines. It includes disc-type toughened glass insulators combined with end fittings such as yoke plates, ball-end clevis, socket clevis, tension clamps, and other transmission line hardware. As a proven 132kV glass insulators and fitting supplier, Nooa Electric supplies tension string hardware sets tailored to line design parameters, conductor types (ACSR, AAAC), and environmental conditions.

Key Components of 132kV Tension String Hardware

The tension string is made from glass disc insulators, tension clamps, yoke plates, shackles, and connecting hardware designed to handle high tensile loads and electrical stress.

A complete set typically includes:
1. Toughened glass disc insulators (e.g., U70B, U120B, U160B types)
2. Tension clamps for conductor anchoring
3. Yoke plates or strain plates to keep string geometry stable
4. Ball-and-socket couplings for articulation
5. Shackles, clevis fittings, and eye fittings for structural connection
6. Corona rings (if required) for reducing corona discharge on 132kV lines


Each part is precision-designed to work as a reliable mechanical chain. Nooa Electric uses galvanized steel and high-strength alloy steel to ensure the assembly performs under harsh environments and heavy tension loads.

Mechanical and Electrical Performance Advantages

Toughened glass provides high mechanical strength, excellent dielectric stability, and superior aging resistance compared to porcelain insulators.

132kV glass tension strings are widely used due to several advantages:
1. High Tensile Strength: Toughened glass discs typically range from 70kN to 160kN and higher, making them ideal for long spans, river crossings, and mountain regions.
2. Excellent Electrical Insulation: Their uniform structure provides stable dielectric strength and resistance to electrical puncture.
3. Self-Cleaning & Visibility: Glass surfaces reduce dust accumulation and make defects easily visible, lowering maintenance costs.
4. Long-Term Stability: Glass discs do not age or degrade under UV radiation, acid rain, or temperature cycles.

Nooa Electric ensures every disc undergoes mechanical load testing, AC withstand testing, lightning impulse testing, and pollution performance evaluation.

FAQ: 132kV Glass Insulators Tension String Hardware

1. How many discs are usually used in a 132kV tension string?
Typically 9–16 discs, depending on pollution level, creepage distance, and mechanical load.


2. Are 132kV glass insulators better than porcelain?
Yes—glass provides higher mechanical strength, better visibility for inspection, and improved electrical stability.


3. Can Nooa Electric customize tension string configurations?
Absolutely. Nooa Electric provides custom designs, fittings selection, disc models, and hardware combinations based on customer requirements.


4. What mechanical load rating is standard for 132kV tension strings?
Standard ratings include 70kN, 120kN, 160kN, but higher loads can be produced for river crossings or extreme spans.


5. Do 132kV tension strings need corona rings?
For EHV applications or when corona discharge is detected, grading rings are recommended.
