Nice insulators there. we have different insulators in Aus and I have lots of videos about them if you would want to see them. It is good that you explained how each one was used. I will subscribe because this is a good video.
Thanks for watching!
No problem- we have large glass ones with copper tops that are old here- apparently for AM radio interference. I think they are for the same use as your brown ones there. Have fun collecting insulators!
Loved your high voltage educational videos, especially the microwave diagnostics and repair videos. Safety first, which is why I did some research into the dangers of servicing microwave ovens.
I have a diploma in electronics engineering. Such a nice refresher.
Where did you get the intro music? Cool video!
It's been so long that I forgot. It was "no copyright" music. Thanks for watching!
@@electronicsNmore You're welcome man!
The one that has many pieces end to end...isn't there metal in each one to connect to each neighbor...doesn't that defeat the whole point of having 4x or 5x the gap?
It's good to see people finding these I have found hundreds of these after the Selma tornado and after past storms
Thank you very much Admin...... be blessed
How to drill a hole in one of these? Which type of drill shall I use?
Carbide tipped bit, or diamond.
Wait so back then glass and black porcelain insulators where used but now rubber and white porcelain are used was black porcelain cheaper or something?
No rubber. Porcelain/ceramic insulators are most commonly used.
I have a question. The insulator that was hung in a series of four, how do they connect and still remain insulated from each other if there's metal going through the ceramic insulator?
The metal doesn't go all the way through.
My next job will go to my local railway station, where the catenary is at 25kv, and photograph one of the insulators. Just out of interest 😊 .
hey I bought a stainless semi trailer and it had a bunch of grey ceramic giant ribbed electrical things, but I don't know what they are. if I made a video for you, would you mind helping me identify what they are?
I'd appreciate it...
Justin Crediblename Upload a video.
Thanks for the video. Thought I would search for this just incase there was a video on it, and there was! :D

I'm Md Mahabubul Haque from Bangladesh and I am working in the power sector. Can I market your products in our country through international tenders and other ways.

Love this video! Please keep making more! Subscribed!
Thanks for watching Jon! As long as my viewers/subscribers continue to share my channel with others so my channel keeps growing, there will be many more videos in the future.

Can you explain types of tower use in transmission of ac line and their uses......
Very informative video and great information! I'm a power lineman in Arizona, and of course deal with these porcelain types every day, although we're going more and more with polymer insulators. I actually have an extensive collection of insulators I've personally taken down during my 9 years in the field. Did you happen to notice the black coating on the crown of the first brown insulator? That's actually a semi-conductive glaze that's put on during manufacturing. It eliminates radio interference by preventing surface arcing and corona between the insulator and conductor. Higher voltage types tend to have this coating. Also, the "disk" types you have there are often called suspension units by manufacturers. Us linemen call them "bells"
keepers0215 Glad you enjoyed the video. I did not know about that glaze. Thanks for the info!
electronicsNmore No problem! I think that glaze is only used on certain types of insulators, mainly the "mushroom" shaped pin types like you have there We still use some porcelain at my company (25-35kv) which don't have the coating, but they are larger and don't use the threaded pin; they have a large metal cap with a stud on the bottom.
electronicsNmore I Like the intro;DD I Collect These Type Of Insulators As well;DD Thanks For Showing, Cheers Mate;DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Thanks for watching!
+electronicsNmore Nice Demo;DD
nice!
what is that first insulator called I believe I just got the same one and I'm trying to identify it?
nice insulator

6:39 That's actually a Romulan fighting device...
:-)
I was wondering can the metal peg be removed from the ceramic dish.
Hi. Some are screwed into the ceramic, and I think others where crimped. Thanks for watching!
I heard beryllium oxide (ceramic) sometimes are used in high power insulators. May these contain it?
Not sure of the exact composition of the insulators.
that's cool, I didn't know that.
How did you get those insulators?
They were laying around at an abandoned US military base. Thanks for watching!
great video this is very interesting and has a lot of information
Glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to check out my video playlists, and share my channel with others. Thank you
arent glass ones usually toughened glass
I am not sure of the exact composition of the glass, but the glass is thick and very strong.
RedDemon Music Modern glass insulators are made from "tempered" glass, like car windows. Older types were not tempered or toughened in any way.
awesome video, thanks.

nice show buddy ! thanks.

Nice vid!

Besides the long term corrosive effects of acid rain I wonder if there have been reports of such rain causing shorts across insulators. I would think the hydrogen ions would contribute to that possibility.
