Alumina Ceramic Pin Insulator

High-purity alumina ceramic pin insulators designed for low to medium voltage distribution lines. These insulators prevent electrical conduction between conductors and support structures, and are made from a ceramic material, falling under the 'other' category of electrical insulators.

Bakelite Electrical Spacer

Bakelite (phenol formaldehyde) spacers used to maintain distance between electrical busbars. These are electrical insulators made of a synthetic resin, not specifically covered elsewhere, and thus fall under the 'other' category of electrical insulators.

Cordierite Ceramic Insulator

Cordierite ceramic insulators with low thermal expansion, used in electrical heating appliances. These insulators are made of a ceramic material and are not specifically classified elsewhere, making them fall under the 'other' category for electrical insulators.

Epoxy Resin Bushings Insulator

Epoxy resin bushings used in transformers to insulate high-voltage conductors passing through the tank wall. These are electrical insulators made of synthetic resin, not specifically covered by other headings, and are classified as 'other' electrical insulators.
