 Silicone Post Insulators

Design

Rod
PFISTERER Post Insulators are manufactured with
Post Insulators electrical grade corrosion resistant epoxy rod. The
Pages 2-7 materials used are of the highest quality and are
routinely tested to ensure the maximum
performance characteristics.

End fittings
The fittings are machined from EN8 or cast from
malleable cast iron and hot dip galvanised in
accordance with ISO1461. A selection of base
diameters and conductor supports are available.

Sheds
Stand-off Insulators The sheds are manufactured using high-pressure
Pages 8-11 injection moulding techniques to create a smooth
surface reducing the amount of pollution trap. The
design of the Post Insulators are suitable for both
the side mount and vertical applications.

Standards
All Post insulators are manufactured in accordance
to IEC 61952. Quality processes are implemented
as per ISO 9001:2000. These are regularly audited
both internally and by our certification body DQS.

Spindles Mechanical Ratings

Page 12 PFISTERER Post insulators have a variety of SCL
and MDCL ratings and are designed and
manufactured in accordance to IEC 1952.
