K-LINE INSULATORS PROFILE
K-LINE INSULATORS is a quality silicone insulator manufacturer.

The company was established in 1983 with its head office located in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada. K-LINE INSULATORS products are distributed world-wide through a
consolidated network of representatives.
Product lines manufactured by K-LINE INSULATORS include transmission and
distribution suspension, line post and station post insulators, featuring our patented
Universal Line Post design. Other products include riser support insulators, dead-end
extension insulators, polymer-coated guy strains, and specialty insulators for in-line
switches, air-break switches, interphase spacers, railways and live line tools. These
insulators are designed to the various standards (i.e. CSA, CEA, ANSI, IEEE, IEC, etc.).
K-LINE INSULATORS introduced a patented Universal Polymeric Line Post End Fitting
design. The end fitting is referred to as the "K" clamp. Finally, there is one line post
insulator that can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical configuration, with the
clamp integrated into the insulator design. Some of the immediate benefits of the "K"
clamp are that it is made of corrosion resistant aluminum casting, has the capability to
accommodate a full range of conductor sizes, contains only a single captive live-line
operable bolt, and no loose parts. Purchasers of the "K" clamp have been able to take
advantage of labour cost savings in stringing, sagging, and conductor clamping, along
with other savings related to shipping, stocking, and maintenance. The "K" clamp has
performed excellently in the field since 1992.
K-LINE INSULATORS has excellent engineering resources and test facilities for product
development. K-LINE INSULATORS uses its own proprietary technologies, designs and
rubber formulations, in the manufacture of all its insulator products.
K-LINE INSULATORS' highly developed proprietary silicone rubber formulation is
characterized by its superior contamination performance. All insulators are injection
molded, one piece, and exhibit self-cleaning characteristics. The rubber is bonded to the
fibreglass core strength member. These products have a long and proven performance
record in severely contaminated environments.

DISTRIBUTION SILICONE INSULATORS

Deadend / Suspension
15 kV to 46 kV
Distribution Silicone Insulators

In general Overhead Distribution Lines tend to experience a large number of outages and interruptions due to
insulation failures. These failures may be from surface contamination or wetting on line insulators that results in
flashovers or pole fires.
Silicone suspension/dead-end insulators offer the ultimate solution in improved performance. Because of its
hydrophobicity, this material inherently resists water filming thereby limiting leakage currents. Insulators with
reduced leakage currents, even when contaminated, require less frequent washing. The savings in such
maintenance costs are added benefits of using silicone insulators.
KLine silicone polymer distribution suspension/deadend insulators are manufactured and tested to world-class
polymer insulator standards; CEA LWIWG-01, ANSI C29.13, and IEC 1109. K-Line Insulators Limited is
registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems.
Performance Benefits
The performance benefits of K-Line Insulators distribution suspension/dead-end insulators are listed below.
Improves Reliability (by minimizes interruptions and outages due to vandalism, pole fires, and flashovers in
all types of environments)
Eliminates or Reduces Maintenance (such as washing and trouble calls) and is compatible with existing plant
Improves Power Quality (less RI and TVI)
Energy Efficiency (lower losses due to lower leakage currents)
Safety (light weight for handling and installation)
Service Life (consistent performance over its service life)
Life Cycle Cost (savings over porcelain insulators)
Application
Distribution suspension/dead-end insulators are used on overhead lines operating at or below 46 kV. These
insulators are used to support line conductors in suspension or dead-end modes such as line terminations, angles,
and tangents. These insulators can be used with bare or covered conductors.
Core Material
The core rod of the distribution suspension/dead-end insulator is made of a high quality fiberglass that has been
specially formulated for electrical and mechanical applications.
Housing and Sheds

The housing and sheds of the insulator are one piece, injected molded silicone rubber that is chemically bonded to
the core rod. This ensues that the interface between the rubber and rod is impenetrable against moisture ingress.

* The catalogue numbers in the above table are for CT clevis-tongue fittings. For other combinations of end
fittings, see End Fittings Section.
End Fittings
There are three standard end fittings that are available on the suspension/dead-end insulators: clevis, tongue,
and thimble eye (See Below). All end fittings are made from high strength, corrosion resistant extruded
aluminum. The end fittings are crimped on to the core rod to provide the mechanical performance. A
watertight seal between the rubber and end fittings eliminate possible moisture ingress. This special silicone
rubber to metal fittings sealing process provides total exclusion of moisture.
The end fittings of the distribution class suspension/dead-end are rated for a specified mechanical strength,
SML of 70 kN (15,700 lb) or 90 kN (20,200 lb).
The clevis and tongue end fittings are the two most common fittings used with additional adaptors and
clamps. The thimble eye end fitting is a unique design that integrates the insulator tongue end fitting and a
conductor performed grip adapter to attach to the line conductor. This thimble eye essentially eliminates one
item in the assembly and from inventory.
For other special end fittings please contact K-Line Insulators.

Line Post
15 kV to 69 kV

Line Post
Insulator contamination is a common problem on overhead lines. The fundamental element for interruptions with
contaminated insulators is moisture. Wet atmospheric conditions result in water filming on surfaces and causing
leakage currents to develop. On wood structures, leakage currents can cause pole top fires. On steel structures,
leakage currents can develop into faults.
Silicone offers the ultimate solution in line post insulators. Because of its hydrophobicity, this material inherently
resists water filming thereby limiting leakage currents. Silicone insulators reduce leakage currents, even when
contaminated and require less frequent washing. The savings in such maintenance costs are added benefits of using
silicone insulators.
KLine silicone polymer distribution line post insulators are manufactured and tested to world-class polymer
insulator standards, CEA LWIWG-02. K-Line Insulators Limited is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems.
The performance benefits of K-Line Insulators distribution line post insulators are listed below.
Improves Reliability (by minimizing interruptions and outages due to vandalism, pole fires, and

Application
Distribution line post insulators are used on overhead distribution lines operating at and below 69 kV. These
insulators are commonly installed on metal or wooden structures to horizontally or vertically support the line
conductor. Also, these insulators are used to support high voltage conductor jumpers or leads.

Clamp-Top
The conventional horizontal and vertical trunnion accommodates a standard line post insulator, bolted conductor
clamp. On the horizontal design the line end fitting has an additional eye for the attachment of other devices
during installation or maintenance activities.
Tie-Top
The tie-top is designed for tying a conductor to the neck of the insulator. It is available in two standard neck
sizes: C or F-neck.
K-Clamp
K-Line Insulators Limited has introduced a new concept in the polymer line post live end fitting design. This end
fitting is referred to as the K clamp. The uniqueness of this end fitting is a result of the many advantages its
has over the traditional horizontal, vertical and tie-top configurations.
Some advantages of the K clamp include:
1) Excellent corrosion resistant aluminum casting
2) A long, smooth contoured conductor clamping zone
3) The clamp accommodates a full range of conductor sizes
4) A single captive live-line operable bolt
5) All parts are captive
6) Lower overall length permits standard cover up hoods to effectively cover all insulator sheds
7) The design can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical configuration
8) Inventory reduction is accomplished because one insulator is used for both configurations and a
separate clamp is not required
9) The price of the new insulator is cost comparative with the purchase of a standard trunnion post
insulator and a separate clamp
10) Substantial labour cost savings in stringing, sagging and conductor clamping
11) Other savings related to shipping, stocking and maintenance
Base End Fitting

The standard base for line post insulators is a round flat iron base with a threaded hole that accommodates a
standard insulator stud or bolt. For other special bases contact K-Line Insulators Limited.
Hot-dip galvanizing to CSA G164 and ASTM A153 specifications provides corrosion protection of the base end
fitting.

Station Post
One of the most critical assets of an electrical Distribution System is the station. Not only is this asset the heart of
the supply to large electrical loads but it also serves many customers from industrial to residential. Therefore,
outages or interruptions due to insulation failures are costly and impact negatively on customer service. With KLine silicone station insulators these are greatly minimized through improved performance to reliability and
savings in the life cycle cost.
Silicones hydrophobic property allows K-Line station insulators to electrically outperform porcelain insulators.
The lightweight feature of polymer insulators makes it easy to handle and install. The size and fittings of polymer
station insulators ensure that they are compatible with existing station post hardware and arrangements.
Experience with silicone polymer insulators has proven their superiority over porcelain insulators.
KLine silicone polymer distribution station post insulators are manufactured and tested to world-class polymer
insulator standards, CSA and ANSI. K-Lines Quality System is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems.
The performance benefits of K-Line Insulators distribution station post insulators are listed below.

Eliminate or Reduce Maintenance (such as washing and trouble calls) and is compatible with existing
porcelain insulators
Improves Power Quality (lower RI and TVI)
Energy Efficiency (reduced losses due to lower leakage currents)
Safety (light weight for handling and installation, eliminates catastrophic mechanical failures)
Application
Distribution station post insulators are used in open-type stations operating at and below 46 kV. These insulators
support the bus, leads, or other apparatus within the station.

Weight includes standard rings where applicable. See section on Corona Rings.
End Fittings
The end fittings on the transmission insulator are made of high strength, cast (forged) steel. The insulators have a
specified mechanical load (SML) rating of 120 kN (27,000 lbs.). Also, all insulators are proof tested to 60 kN
(13,500 lbs.) in tension.
The end fittings are radialy swaged on to the core rod to provide the mechanical performance and reduce the
stress concentration. Our proprietary design insures a watertight seal between the rubber and end fitting. This
special silicone rubber to metal fittings sealing process prevents moisture ingress to the core fiberglass rod.
Hot-dip galvanizing to CSA G164 and ASTM A153 Standard provides corrosion protection of the end fittings.
The cotter key is made from stainless steel.
The standard end fittings that are available are listed and detailed in the below. For other special end fittings

Line Post
Today transmission lines are required to be more aesthetically pleasing and are routed through narrow right-ofways or along roadways. Also, at the lower transmission voltages (e.g., 115 kV and 69 kV) these lines are routed
through urban areas and along roadways similar to distribution circuits to supply substations and larger customers.
In some situations these lines share the same route and poles with distribution circuits. With K-Line silicone line
post transmission insulators an aesthetic compact line design can be easily achieved with a substantial savings in
the life cycle cost.

Station Post
69 kV to 161 kV

Station Post
One of the most critical assets of an electrical Transmission System is the station. Not only is this asset the heart
of the supply to large electrical loads but it also serves many customers from industrial to residential. Therefore,
outages or interruptions due to insulation failures are costly and impact negatively on customer service. With KLine silicone station insulators these are greatly minimized through improved performance to reliability and
savings in the life cycle cost.
Silicones hydrophobic property allows K-Line station insulators to electrically outperform porcelain insulators.
The lightweight feature of polymer insulators makes it easy to handle and install. The size and fittings of polymer
station insulators ensure that they are compatible with existing station post hardware and arrangements.
Experience with silicone polymer insulators has proven their superiority over porcelain insulators.

Guy Strain
Polymer Insulators
Guy Strain
Polymer Insulators
Safety codes mandate the elect rical strength of guy insulators to have a dry fl as hover voltage at least twice the
voltage to ground of the highest voltage supply circuit with which the guy could come in contact, and a wet
flashover equal to the highest voltage between any two conductors. When using porcelain, two or more
insulators are usually needed to comply with these requirements.
Fibreglass guy strain insulators so located that there is a possibility of contact with the supply conductors are
prone to electrical tracking and failure. Paint coatings are easily removed in handling, and by weathering, and do
not adequately protect the rod. In chemical environments, crystalline fracture of the unprotected rod can occur.
K-Line guy strain insulators are protected from the environment including the effects of voltage, ultra-violet rays
and acid rain by a fully bonded, electrically track-free, and impenetrable EPDM or Silicone rubber sheath. The
electrical and mechanical requirements of the safety codes are easily met by K-Line Insulators. The insulators are
manufactured under a registered Canadian Standards Association Z299.3-1985 quality assurance program. Each
assembled insulator is proof tested, and permanently marked to show the date of test.

Extension Insulators
K-Line dead-end extension insulators are manufactured by coupling either silicone or EPDM sleeved rod to polymer dead-end insulators.
Extension insulators are made using the same manufacturing methods and quality assurance program as the dead-end and guy strain
insulators. Each dead-end extension insulator is mechanically proof tested to 10,000 lbs.
For installations in normal operating environments, K-Line EPDM insulators are recommended. For extremely contaminated, salt laden or
chemical environments, K-Line SILICONE insulators are the ultimate solution.

Interphase Spacers
Overview
With the environmental exposure to ice and/or wind Overhead Transmission and Distribution
Lines that are bare open-wire design are quite susceptible to conductor motion that may result in
outages or interruptions on the electrical system due to conductor contact, flashovers, or any
plant damage. Interphase spacers were developed to minimize the probability of these
occurrences by insuring that conductors remain apart during their movement.
Interphase Spacer
K Line interphase spacers consist of silicone rubber insulation over a fiberglass rod. They are
very light and flexible. They are connected on the conductor with clamps with or without armour
rods. The interphase spacers meet the requirements of CEA LWIWG-01, IEEE 1024, ANSI
C29.11 and CSA C411.4.
Experience
In the past 20 years many Canadian Utilities such as Ontario Hydro, Manitoba Hydro, and
Hydro-Quebec have installed interphase spacers. Also, they are widely used by other utilities in
countries such as Australia, Germany, Japan, USA, and Switzerland. They have been applies on
distribution and transmission lines operating from 4.16 to 500 kV. There have not been any
problems reported with the K -Line interphase spacers.
Application
One or two interphase spacers are installed in each span. One spacer is installed if there are two
vertically positioned conductors and it is installed at one-third of the span. Two spacers are
installed if there are three vertically positioned conductors. The first spacer is installed between
the mid and lower conductors one-third of the span from one end. The second spacer is installed
between the mid and upper conductor one-quarter of the span from the other end.
