What are the environmental benefits of using high-voltage glass insulators?
The use of high-voltage glass insulators can provide several environmental benefits compared to other types of insulators.
Taking into consideration, and unlike polymeric insulators, the expected useful life of a glass insulator is greater than 50 years, which usually exceeds the useful life of the line itself.
This means that throughout the life of the line, it is not necessary to renew the insulation, reducing the number of insulators that need to be manufactured and saving those associated resources.
On the other hand, glass is a recyclable material, which means that glass insulators at the end of their useful life can be recycled and reused instead of being disposed of in landfills.
All the components of La Granja Insulators’ Glass Insulators are of recyclable materials, both glass and metallic parts:
- Glass dielectric part
- Caps Pins
- Split pins
Additionally, glass insulators require fewer natural resources to manufacture compared to other materials such as porcelain, contributing to the conservation of natural resources and reducing the environmental impact associated with the production of electrical insulators.
Key Takeaways
- Glass Insulators have a longer lifespan than the line.
- They are made of recyclable material.
- Lower consumption of natural resources.
- Reduction of environmental impact.
