Line Post Porcelain Insulator with Top Clamp (ANSI C29.7)

Heavy-duty solid core porcelain insulators featuring an integral Top Clamp for secure vertical or horizontal mounting. Strictly compliant with ANSI C29.7 standards (Class 57-11 to 57-26).

Cantilever Strength 12.5 kN
Standard ANSI C29.7
Mounting Type Top Clamp (Vertical/Horizontal)
Material Wet Process Porcelain
Secure Clamp Mounting | Puncture-Proof Solid Core

Secure "Clamp Top" Design

The Clamp Top design eliminates the need for tie wires, providing a faster and more secure installation method for conductors. This design is suitable for both vertical (upright) and horizontal (stand-off) mounting configurations, offering flexibility in line design.

Solid Core & Reliability

Vuulcan's Line Post insulators utilize a solid core porcelain body, which is inherently puncture-proof. The high-strength porcelain ensures a cantilever strength of 12.5 kN (2800 lbs) across the range, meeting rigorous ANSI C29.7 requirements.

  • Standard Color: ANSI 70 Light Grey.
  • Radio Interference: Excellent RIV performance (≤ 100 µV at test voltage).
  • Durability: Resistant to weathering, UV, and electrical tracking.

FAQ: Line Post Insulators (Top Clamp)

Can these be mounted horizontally?
Yes, the Clamp Top design allows for horizontal mounting (often used in compact transmission lines) as well as standard vertical mounting.
What is the advantage of the clamp over a tie-top?
The integral clamp eliminates the need for separate tie wires, reducing installation time and ensuring a more consistent grip on the conductor, preventing slippage.
What ANSI classes are available?
We offer the full range of ANSI C29.7, from Class 57-11 to 57-26, covering various voltage and creepage requirements.
