Hollow Core Insulator: Introduction

An Insulator is a material which is used to keep sound or heat contained, or something which does not conduct electricity. Hollow core insulators are insulating substances for various high voltage applications and electrical power transmission lines. Hollow core insulators, alternatives for glass and porcelain insulators, provide high quality, reliable and strong performance in high voltages up to 1100 kV AC and 1100 kV DC.

As compared to glass and porcelain insulators, hollow core insulators offer other significant benefits such as lighter weight, better contamination performance, seismic resistance and increased protection while in a catastrophic failure.

Hollow Core Insulators comprise of three major components: Flanges, Fiber Reinforced Plastic rod, and sheds. Hollow core insulators provide dimensional consistency which allow for improvements in dielectric optimization and better performance of various seal systems.

The need of hollow core insulators has increased in the wake of protecting transformers and power transmission lines, due to the hydrophobicity of its sheds which therefore provide improved performance under challenging environmental and polluted conditions.

Hollow Core Insulator: Market Drivers and Challenges

As per the EIA, global electricity consumption is expected to grow at a higher rate than the population, hence leading to the per capita electricity consumption. The power transmission and distribution sector has been witnessing a spike in intermittent cut-offs in power supply involving scheduled load shedding to abrupt terminations for the consumers.

This phenomenon can be due to wiring failures or short circuits in the power transmission lines, which could also be harmful for residents nearby. Hollow core insulators ensure that an electrical conductor has safe passage through a conducting barrier without causing issues such as making electrical contact with it.

One main application of hollow core insulators involves switchgears, in which hollow core insulators offer tight dimensional insulating, flexibility and short design cycle time, essential to the rise in demand for the hollow core insulator.

The growth of hollow core insulators market can also be attributed towards consumers’ preference towards safer and high performance and power equipment. As mentioned above, due to the advantages hollow core insulators provide over glass and porcelain insulators, the hollow core insulator market continues to grow. Hollow core insulators also find immense applications in ultra and extra high voltage apparatuses, thereby creating a positive prospects for the upward trend of the market.

Materials required to manufacture hollow core insulators have stringent mechanical characteristics such as the ability to handle high stresses, weight and pull of the terminals, attraction between poles while short circuits, and more importantly earthquake stresses.

Flanges used in the hollow core insulators are generally attached via an epoxy bond. These epoxy bonds have an upper temperature limit of 105°C. Therefore, the high manufacturing cost, as inadequate designs can compromise the flange bond and can lead to failure.

The cost of hollow core insulators are also higher than that of normal glass or porcelain insulators. Like any pressurized vessel, the hollow core insulator is also subject to leakage. These factors might create hindrance for the market growth during the forecast period.

However, since it plays an essential role in the power generation and the electrical industry, the demand for hollow core insulators is expected to witness significant surge over the coming years. This objective is also being addressed via continued cost – effective product innovation and development by the hollow core insulator manufacturers, such as attaching gas monitoring systems such as manometers to it.

The integration of smart features into hollow core insulators, by which the software can predict the time vs pressure relationship, determining rates of loss after catastrophic events. This can help manufacturers innovate the hollow core insulator to be well equipped in similar times.

Impact of COVID-19 on Hollow Core Insulator market

The ongoing crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic has affected all industry verticals resulting in subdued capital investments, retardation of production rate and supply to end procurers. Demand of electricity has significantly reduced due to the covid – 19 outbreaks. Various governments around the world, compelled to minimize business activity.

Covid – 19 changed global lifestyles as people stayed at homes, thereby significantly increasing residential load demand but a decline in industrial and commercial loads. Therefore, adversely affecting various network equipment such as distribution transformers and protection equipment.

Since hollow core insulators form an essential part in the distribution and protection equipment market, it has hence resulted in a dent in the planned growth rate in the current fiscal year.
