Advantage of suspension type insulator has many used on transmission and distribution overhead power lines.

Compared to other line insulators, the Advantage of suspension type insulator has
◆ High mechanical strength
◆ Easy to maintain
◆ Used on any voltage power lines
◆ Used flexibly, suspension insulator is normally used in suspension string, if one is destroyed, we can use new replacing the bad one
◆ Low voltage suspension insulator is cheap

Suspension type insulator can be made from porcelain and polymer materials, the advantage of suspension type insulator polymer
◆ Designed in high voltage insulator, such as 500kv suspension insulator
◆ Used any pollution areas
◆ Excellent hydrophobic resistance
◆ Acid and corrosion resistance

Except advantage of suspension type insulator, there is some disadvantage of suspension type insulator, such as high voltage polymer suspension insulator doesn’t easily transmit.
