Description
electric fence porcelain insulator
- Long-life, fire-resistant insulator
- Use as a corner and end insulator for permanent fence installations
- High-quality, white-glaze finish
Porcelain has a solid color throughout, usually white. Porcelain is denser and less absorbent than ceramic, so it can easily withstand moisture and harsher weather conditions.
Since porcelain does not conduct electricity, especially when combined with other non-conductive materials, it is the ideal material for insulators.
Because of the cost of materials and an intensive manufacturing process, porcelain is more expensive to produce.
To most people, the term porcelain often signifies high-quality ceramics.
Thanks to porcelain’s durability, porcelain insulators have a lifetime guarantee against typical wear and tear. Porcelain insulators are ideal for use on fences that see a lot of stress and strain, such as those that face extremely cold temperatures or pressure from aggressive animals.
The use of ceramic porcelain as electrical insulator is unrivalled by any other materials currently. Porcelain insulators are characterized with excellent properties such as high mechanical strength, high electrical stability and corrosion resistance even in harsh environments.
Insulators are made from materials that do not conduct electricity, most commonly plastic or ceramic. They are a critical component of a properly functioning electric fence.
