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 69 kV
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 result in flashovers or pole fires. Silicone deadend/suspension 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. K–Line silicone polymer distribution deadend/suspension 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 deadend/suspension insulators are listed below. • Improves Reliability (by minimizing 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 deadend/suspension insulators are used on overhead lines operating at or below 69 kV. These insulators are used to support line conductors in suspension or deadend 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 deadend/suspension 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 ensures 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 or mechanical strengths, see End Fittings Section.
END FITTINGS
There are five standard end fittings that are available on the deadend/suspension insulators: clevis, tongue, thimble eye, socket, and ball (See Below). The clevis, tongue, and thimble eye fittings are made from high strength, corrosion resistant extruded aluminum. While the socket and ball fittings are hot-dip galvanized iron. The end fittings are crimped on to the core rod to provide the mechanical performance. A watertight seal between the rubber and end fittings eliminates possible moisture ingress. This special silicone rubber to metal fittings sealing process provides total exclusion of moisture. The end fittings of the distribution class deadend/suspension 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 preformed conductor 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.

DISTRIBUTION SILICONE INSULATORS Line Post
15 kV to 69 kV
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.
K–Line 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.
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS 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 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 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 it 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.
K-Line Insulators has introduced a new silicone line post insulator that is applicable for 69 kV overhead lines. This insulator is designed for installations with high electrical requirements. This insulator features the highly reliable proprietary K-Line silicone rubber that is one piece, injection molded and chemically bonded to a high quality epoxy fiberglass rod. This insulator will greatly improve the electrical performance of the System, especially in contaminated environments. 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 and eventual failures. On steel structures, leakage currents can develop into faults. K-Line’s proprietary silicone material offers the ultimate solution in post insulator applications. Because of its hydrophobicity, this material inherently resists water filming thereby limiting leakage currents. These silicone insulators reduce leakage currents, even when contaminated and require less frequent if any washing. The savings in maintenance costs are added benefits of using K-Line silicone insulators. The 69 kV line post insulator has been designed to meet the requirements of CEA LWIWG-02, ANSI C29.18, and IEC 61952. The 69 kV line post insulator is available in four different configurations: horizontal, vertical, tie-top, or K-clamp. The K-clamp design offers the best and most cost effective solution in most cases. 69 kV K-Clamp Line Post The K-clamp insulator has an integral clamp for attaching the conductor directly to the line post insulator without the use of a separate conductor clamp. The K-clamp insulator can bemounted either in the vertical or horizontal position and offersseveral advantages over the conventional line post insulators. The K-clamp has a smooth clamping zone that accommodatesa conductor diameter range of 0.30 inch (7.6 mm) to 1.34 inch(34 mm). The single galvanized steel clamp bolt that secures the keeper can be operated with hot line tools from either sideof the clamp. It also extends beyond the clamp body to allowfor the attachment of stringing devices. The K-clamp insulator can provide substantial labour costsavings in stringing, sagging and conductor clamping. Thereare other savings that can be achieved in shipping, stocking and maintenance.

DISTRIBUTION SILICONE INSULATORS Station Post
15 kV to 46 kV
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 K-Line silicone station post insulators these are greatly minimized through improved performance to reliability and savings in the life cycle cost. Silicone’s hydrophobic property allows K-Line station post insulators to electrically outperform porcelain insulators. The lightweight feature of polymer insulators makes them easy to handle and install. The size and fittings of polymer station post 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. K–Line silicone polymer distribution station post insulators are manufactured and tested to world-class polymer insulator standards, CSA and ANSI. K-Line’s Quality System is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems.

69 kV to 230 kV
Transmission Silicone Insulators Deadend / Suspension
One of the most important items on any transmission overhead line is the insulator. This item is the backbone of the transmission system in minimizing interruptions and outages, and providing for a safe plant. Therefore, it is essential to have high quality and dependable insulators on the system. With K–Line silicone polymer transmission insulators these objectives can be easily achieved with a substantial savings in the life cycle cost. Experience with silicone polymer insulators has proven their superiority over porcelain insulators. Today more Electric Utilities are shifting to silicone polymer insulators to improve overall performance on transmission overhead lines. K–Line silicone polymer transmission suspension/deadend insulators are manufactured and tested to world-class polymer insulator standards, CSA C411.4, ANSI C29.11 and IEC 1109. K-Line Insulators Limited is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems. PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
The performance benefits of K-Line Insulators transmission suspension/deadend insulators are listed below.

CORONA RINGS
High voltage lines above 88 kV phase-to-phase can generate unnecessary noise (RI and TVI) and corona due to the high electrical stress concentration. To minimize these effects gradient or corona rings are installed on the end fitting of the insulator. Guidelines used in the application of these rings are noted below. Insulators that are used on system voltages above 88 kV and below 150 kV are supplied with a built-in gradient ring. Insulators that are used on system voltages from 150 kV and above are supplied with a separate corona ring for assembly in the field before installation. The ring is designed for installation in only one orientation and location to avoid miss application. These rings are made from aluminum that make them light weight and corrosion resistant.
Gradient (Built-in) Ring 88 kV to below 150 kV
Corona Ring 150 kV to 230 kV
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.

Silicone Guy Strain Insulators
Silicone Guy Strain Insulators
Safety codes mandate the electrical strength of guy insulators to have a dry flashover 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. Unprotected fiberglass core exposed to the elements can fail as a result of brittle fracture. 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 silicone rubber sheath. The electrical and mechanical requirements of the safety codes are easily met by K-Line Insulators. K-Line Insulators Limited is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems. Each assembled insulator is proof tested, and permanently marked to show the date of test.

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. K-Line Insulators Limited is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems.
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS The performance benefits of K-Line Insulators interphase spacer insulators are listed below. • Improves Reliability (by minimizes interruptions and outages due to vandalism 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 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. CORE MATERIAL
The core rod of the interphase spacer 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 ensures that the interface between the rubber and rod is impenetrable against moisture ingress

Distribution Silicone Insulators Riser Support
On distribution overhead lines there are numerous tap-offs from the main line to provide connections to equipment (e.g., transformers, switches, fuses, underground cables, etc.) or lines (e.g., services, junctions, etc.). Normally leads are used to connect the equipment or line to the main line. These leads can be long and difficult or hazardous to operate. The use of riser support insulators can provide a safe and economical support for these leads. K–Line silicone riser support insulators are manufactured and tested to world-class polymer insulator standards, CSA, CEA, ANSI and IEC. K-Line Insulators Limited is registered to ISO 9001 Quality Systems. APPLICATION Distribution riser support insulators are used on distribution lines operating at or below 69 kV. These insulators are installed on metal, concrete or wooden structures and on cross arms to hold and insulate the conductor leads. ROD
The core rod of the distribution riser support 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 chemically bonds to the core rod. This ensures that the interface between the rubber and rod is impenetrable against moisture ingress.
FITTINGS The riser insulator comes standard with a clamp to hold the conductor and a threaded hole for mounting. Conductor Clamp The clamp is an aluminum clamp that can accommodate copper or aluminum conductors # 6 AWG (0.20”) to 556.5 kcmil (0.95”). Threaded Base The base is typically threaded for ⅝”-11, ¾”-10, M16x2, or M20x2.5 galvanized bolt. For other special clamp features or base threads please contact K-Line Insulators Limited.
