Glass suspension insulators are normally designed in shape consisting of glass units and insulator end fittings used similarly to porcelain suspension insulator.

Glass suspension insulators can be designed, manufactured and tested in the light of ISO /IEC17025:2006 and ISO /IEC17025:2005.

Glass suspension insulators also can use in suspension insulator string for any voltage levels. Flashover voltages of Glass suspension insulators of standard are based on the tests according to ANSI C29.

For example, glass material can be made for pin insulator similarly as porcelain pin type insulator. Glass suspension insulators consist of
◆ Cap and pin
◆ Locking device (split-pin)
◆ Glass part
◆ Gasket
◆ Biding material
◆ Zinc sleeve

The end fittings of Glass suspension insulators have ball and socket, clevis and tongue and y-clevis and eye. Porcelain pin insulator is also one main of electrical insulators.
