    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

    Suspension insulator - For voltages greater than 33 kV, it is a usual practice to use suspension type insulators, consisting of a number of glass or porcelain discs connected in series by metal links in the form of a string. The conductor is suspended at the bottom end of this string while the top end is secured to the cross-arm of the tower.

  3. Insulation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation_system

    The electrical insulation system for wires used in generators, electric motors, transformers, and other wire-wound electrical components is divided into different classes by temperature and temperature rise. The electrical insulation system is sometimes referred to as insulation class or thermal classification.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator

    Insulator (electricity), a substance that resists electricity Pin insulator, a device that isolates a wire from a physical support such as a pin on a utility pole; Strain insulator, a device that is designed to work in mechanical tension to withstand the pull of a suspended electrical wire or cable; Mott insulator, a type of electrical insulator

  5. Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_(electricity)

    In electric power distribution systems, a protective earth (PE) conductor is an essential part of the safety provided by the earthing system. Connection to ground also limits the build-up of static electricity when handling flammable products or electrostatic-sensitive devices.

  6. Bushing (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushing_(electrical)

    Since the 1965s, resin materials have been used for all types of bushing up to the highest voltages. The flexibility of using a castable form of insulation has replaced paper insulation in many product areas and dominates the existing insulated bushing market. As with paper insulation, the control of electric stress fields remains important.

  7. Electrical conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conductor

    The flow of negatively charged electrons generates electric current, positively charged holes, and positive or negative ions in some cases. In order for current to flow within a closed electrical circuit , one charged particle does not need to travel from the component producing the current (the current source ) to those consuming it (the loads ).
