Suspension type insulators are employed for voltages beyond

Electrical Engineering MCQ on Power Transmission

Suspension type insulators are employed for voltages beyond:

  1. 230 V
  2. 11 kV
  3. 13 kV
  4. 33 kV

Correct answer: 4. 33 kV 

Explanation: A suspension type insulator comprises of number of porcelain insulator units connected with each other by metal links to form a flexible string.

A suspension insulator separates the line conductors and supports them electrically.

One end of suspension insulator connects to the cross arms of transmission line while other end supports the conductor.
