Composite insulators are electrical insulation materials used in power transmission lines, typically composed of a core rod, an outer sheath, and metal fittings. They can be broadly categorized as follows:
There are several types of composite insulators,Composite Suspension Insulator,Composite line post insulators,Composite pin-type insulators,CompositeCross-arm Insulator,composite post insulator,Composite Anti-Wind Insulator.
Composite insulators offer several advantages over traditional porcelain or glass insulators. They are lightweight, easy to install, and have a higher mechanical strength, making them ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments. They are also resistant to moisture, UV radiation, and pollution, which can cause insulators to degrade over time. This helps to extend the service life of composite insulators and reduces maintenance costs.

The fuse elements used in most distribution cutouts are tin or silver alloy wires that melt when subjected to high enough current. Ampere ratings of fuse elements vary from 1 ampere to 200 amperes.
Standards
Up until the mid-1990s each manufacturer used their own dimensional standards for cutout design; by the late 1990s most cutouts were of an "interchangeable design". This design allows for the interchangeable use of cutout bodies and fuse holders manufactured by different vendors.

Products FAQ
Used on overhead transmission lines and taps to protect distribution transformers from current surges and overloads,An overcurrent caused by a fault in the transformer or user circuit can cause the fuse to melt and the switch mechanism to visibly open,Disconnect the transformer from the line. The device can also be opened manually by a utility line worker standing on the ground and using a long insulating rod called a “ground rod”.
