Composite Simotec Hollow Insulator

Composite safety

SIMOTEC composite hollow insulators are also of highest quality: Manufactured in accordance with IEC, ANSI and other standards the hollow insulators are produced in cylindrical design up to a total single-component installation length of 6000 mm (236.2”).

 Our SIMOTEC hollow insulators are installed in explosion-proof switchgear that are usually exposed to aggressive contamination and weather conditions during operation. However, due to their design and the high quality material the hollow insulators cope with these conditions for many decades.  

By using high quality LSR silicone rubber the operation of the hollow insulators can be guaranteed without need for maintenance or cleaning. With their compact and light-weight design SIMOTEC hollow insulators contribute decisively to the construction of switchgear with utmost quality and reliability.
