Hubbell has been leading the
way with polymer insulators
under the distinguished Ohio
Brass name since 1976. Veri*Lite
distribution insulators embody
the latest in polymer design
and manufacturing features.
Our Veri*Lite insulators are
backed by thorough testing and research to provide our customers with
high performance products. More than 20 million distribution deadend
and suspension insulators have been put into
service around the world. Hubbell is dedicated
to providing superior products and service to
the power industry.

Page 4 | April 2012

Distinguished by Design
Porcelain Bell Equivalents — The full line of Veri*Lite
suspension and deadend insulators are direct equivalents to
5 ¾ inch x 10 inch and 4 ¼ inch x 6 ¼ inch porcelain bells,
respectively. Please refer to the Electrical Characteristics table
for the number of bell equivalents, on pages 9 and 11.
DS Class Ratings — The polymer deadend insulator product
line has an offering for several DS class ratings, in accordance
with ANSI C29.13 and CSA C411.5-10 standards. Please refer to
the Electrical Characteristics table on page 9 for the appropriate
insulator class rating.
Rod — Veri*Lite Insulators are produced from the highest
quality materials. Strands in the fiberglass rod are aligned for
maximum tensile strength, and the rod is filled 70 percent, by
weight, with electrical grade glass fibers.
End Fittings — Ferrous end fittings are crimped directly to the fiberglass rod by a process originated by
Ohio Brass and later adopted by other manufacturers. The crimp requires no intermovement of the parts
to achieve high strength, nor does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds — Veri*Lite Insulators are manufactured with ESP™ rubber, the same proven material
used in PDV arresters and Hi*Lite Insulators. ESP™ is a polymer compound made by alloying silicone and
EPDM rubber. This alloy offers the desired toughness and resistance to tracking of the original EPR, along
with the hydrophobic characteristics derived from low molecular weight silicone oils.
Testing You Can Count On… Hubbell’s state-of-the-art electrical and mechanical testing facilities are
capable of performing ANSI, IEC, CSA, and other industry required tests. Tracking, QUV, corona cutting,
salt fog, oxidative stability, and variations of differential thermal analysis are just a sample of tests
performed to ensure the quality of our polymer material.
For further information on our polymers, ask your Hubbell Ohio Brass representative for the publication
“Polymer Materials for Insulator Weathersheds”, EU1264 – H.

Page 5 | April 2012

Product Performance
Leakage Distance — Veri*Lite Insulators feature high
leakage distance for optimum contamination performance.
Cleaning — Washing of the Veri*Lite suspension and deadend insulators may be required based on the contamination
level of the installation locaton. In the event that washing is
required, the procedures outlined in Section IX of the “IEEE
GUIDE FOR INSULATOR CLEANING,” IEEE STD 957-2005 are
generally applicable.
Standards — Veri*Lite suspension and deadend insulators
meet the latest ANSI/IEEE-1024, CSA C411.5-10, and IEC-61109
standards. Hubbell’s manufacturing facilities have implemented
a quality system in accordance with ISO 9001-2008.
Mechanical Ratings — The Specified Mechanical Load (SML)
rating for all Veri*Lite suspension and deadend insulators is
15,000 Ibs. The Routine Test Load (RTL) rating for these
insulators is 50% of the SML rating.
All Veri*Lite suspension and deadend insulators are proof tested to 10,000 Ibs
in tension prior to shipment from the factory. This test load exceeds the RTL
rating of the insulator to ensure the quality of our product.
Markings — Markings for Veri*Lite suspension and deadend insulators are
permanently embossed into the end fittings and polymer housing. Markings
include SML rating, date of manufacture, DS rating in accordance with ANSI
C29.13 and CSA C411.5-10 standards, and Ohio Brass identification.
Packaging — The standard packaging of Veri*Lite suspension and deadend
insulators is in boxes stacked on pallets. The quantity per box and pallet
vary based on the catalog number. Please refer to the Mechanical characteristics
table in this catalog for the standard packing quantities.

Page 6 | April 2012

Polymer Design Tests
The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.
Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 15° and
electrodes positioned 35 mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive
solution (400Ωcm) and energized at 10kV. The cycle is repeated every 90
seconds. The sample passes if there is:
1. No carbonization or tracking.
2. No erosion through sample.
3. No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.
The sample must withstand 20,000 test cycles.

Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or
equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet
radiation and high humidity without cracking, checking, or becoming hydrophilic.
The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of
exposure without damage.
Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress
of 300,000 microstrain by bending samples over a grounded electrode. A needle-like
electrode is placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV
in a controlled humidity chamber. The sample is judged to have passed this
test if there is no splitting or cutting during 1,000 hours of exposure to these
test conditions.
Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using
differential scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen
atmosphere to the test temperature of 200°C. The atmosphere is then changed
to air, and the temperature is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as
measured by an exothermic chemical reaction. The time for this reaction to occur
must exceed 300 minutes.
Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM
Standards and are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The
minimum acceptable tear strength is 150 lb/in.

Veri*Lite Insulators embody the latest features available in polymer insulator design and manufacture.
Ohio Brass began its efforts in polymer research in the
early 1900s. After years of production and research
with polymeric compounds in the high voltage insulation field, Ohio Brass introduced the Hi*Lite insulator in
1976. A decade later the Ohio Brass polymer distribution arrester, PDV-100, was introduced as the first U.S.
made polymer-housed MOV arrester.
Today’s Veri*Lite post insulators build upon the experience of placing nearly 20 million polymer distribution
arresters, 17 million polymer deadend distribution insulators and 2 million high voltage transmission insulators in service. Ohio Brass is dedicated to providing a
quality product for the electric utility industry.

Design

The structural design of the Veri*Lite insulator consists
of three basic parts:
Rod - Veri*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced
from the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned
for maximum tensile strength. The rod is filled 65 percent, by volume, with electrical grade glass fibers.
End Fittings - Ferrous end fittings are directly crimped
to the fiberglass rod by a circumferential crimping process originated by Ohio Brass. The crimp requires no
intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength,
nor does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds - Veri*Lite insulators are manufactured
with OB’s proprietary silicone rubber.
Ohio Brass uses several tests to evaluate materials.
Tracking, QUV, corona cutting, salt fog, oxidative stability and variations of differential thermal analysis tests
assure the quality of OB’s shed material.

Leakage Distance

Veri*Lite insulators feature high leakage distance for
optimum contamination performance.

Washability

The Veri*Lite insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for washing by all known methods in current use.
Washing tests have been conducted with high-pressure equipment at close nozzle-to-insulator distances.
No water intrusion occurred after multiple washings.

JUNE 2012

Standards

Veri*Lite line post insulators meet ANSI C29.18-2003
and CEA LWIWG-02-1996 standards.
The Ohio Brass facility in Aiken, SC, USA is registered
for successful implementation of a quality system in
accordance with ISO 9001-2000.

Mechanical Ratings

Specified Cantilever Load (SCL) is the ultimate cantilever strength rating. Maximum Design Cantilever
Load (MDCL) or Working Cantilever Load (WCL) is the
maximum continuous cantilever load at which the post
insulator should be applied.

Markings

Markings are 0.12 inch high raised letters in the rubber
and include: Base catalog number, CEA LWIWG Class,
SCL in pounds, MDCL/WCL in kN and date code. Ohio
Brass identification is cast into the end fittings.

Equivalency

Equivalency of line post insulators involves a check of
the general characteristics.
MECHANICAL
	
Compare the SCL of the polymer insulator to the 	
	
cantilever strength rating of the porcelain insulator.
ELECTRICAL
	
Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite leakage distance.
	
Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite section length.

Insulation Coordination

The operating performance of a distribution or transmission line depends on its insulation level. It must not
flash over under practically any operating condition.
Several methods of coordination of line and station
insulation have been proposed. Generally, the best
method is to establish a definite common insulation
level for all the station insulation and then match that
level with the line insulation. With this approach, the
task is limited to three fundamental requirements:
1.	Selection of the Basic Impulse Insulation Level
(BIL).
2.	Specification of insulation with flashover characteristics equal to or greater than the selected BIL.
3.	The application of suitable overvoltage surge
protection.

Satisfactory performance is generally achieved with an
insulator which has a dry 60 Hz flashover of three to
five times the phase-to-ground voltage and a leakage distance approximately twice the shortest air-gap
(strike) distance.

Packaging

Veri*Lite insulator standard packing is cartons on pallets. Larger orders for Veri*Lite posts may be shipped
in wood crates.

Sample Polymer Specification
Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials.

I.	Material Design Tests
	 -	 The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.
1.	Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30° and electrodes positioned 35 mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400 Ωcm) and energized at 10 kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes if there is:
		
		
		

1.	No carbonization or tracking.
2.	No erosion through sample.
3.	No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.

	 The sample must withstand 20,000 test cycles.
2.	Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure without damage.
3.	Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of 300,000
microstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like electrode is
placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in a controlled humidity chamber.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting. Samples
must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.
4.	Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential
scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere to the test
temperature of 200°C. The atmosphere is then changed to oxygen and the temperature
is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an exothermic chemical
reaction. The time for this reaction to occur must exceed 400 minutes.
5.	Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and
are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The acceptable nominal tear strength,
per ASTM method B, is 100 lb./in.

II.	Other Requirements
-	 The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to ensure
production compliance with design tests.

Application Curves for Veri*Lite Insulators
How to use the application curves. After you have
established the loading cases, you can use the curves
to determine whether a specific Veri*Lite unit meets
your loading requirement.
For example, consider the installation of a Veri*Lite
post number 80S025-0100 on a line with a vertical
cantilever load of 800 pounds and a compression
load of 900 pounds. By entering the curve at these

values, find the allowable longitudinal load to be 900
pounds.
When the posts are loaded in tension the cantilever
loading due to the combined effects of longitudinal,
vertical and tensile loads should not exceed the rated
tension working value.
IMPORTANT:	

The application curves should not be
extrapolated.

SUPER TOP-TIE® Line Ties
• for Pin, Post and Spool Insulators
Made of aluminum-clad steel compatible with aluminum,
aluminum-alloy and ACSR conductors in the top grooves of
vertical-mounted *ANSI Class C, F, J and many non-standard
pin and post insulators (single-or double-support) or on *ANSI
53-2 spool insulators (horizontal or vertical).
High-density polyethylene hooks provide the wide application range and ensure proper installation. If used over armor
rods (not required), select tie size based on total conductor/
armor diameter. Semiconductive-rubber pad and high-densitypolyethylene on loops protect against abrasion of insulator,
conductor and tie. Fit is resilient and provides superior
performance under galloping and aeolian vibration. Install
by hand or with hot-line tools.

Hi*Lite® XL Insulators
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer
insulator design and manufacture.
From the early prototypes in 1971, through full scale
introduction in 1976, and through the succeeding years,
Hi*Lite insulators have featured conservative design and
high-quality manufacture.
Today’s Hi*Lite insulators will add to the over 1,000,000
already in service worldwide.
Design
The structural design of the Hi*Lite XL consists of these
basic parts:
Rod - Hi*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from
the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned for
maximum tensile strength. The rod is more than 50 percent glass fibers in cross section.
End Fittings - End fittings are steel or ductile iron. They
are crimped directly to the rod by a special process
originated by Ohio Brass, and later adopted by many
other producers. The crimp develops a high percentage
of the rod’s inherent tensile strength. It requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor
does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure injection molded by Ohio Brass, from the proprietary com-

Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage currents. Specific leakage distance (leakage divided by dry
arcing distance) is higher than porcelain. Contact Ohio
Brass if you have extra-high leakage distance needs.
Washability
Hi*Lite insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for
flood washing up to 200 psi. The design incorporates
positive, labyrinth seals to ensure long-term security
against water entry. Conventional dry-particle, airpressure cleaning methods may also be employed. A
cleaning guideline is available from Ohio Brass.
If your washing requirements exceed flood washing,
contact Ohio Brass.
Mechanical Ratings
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are rated and tested in
accordance with ANSI Standard C29.11. Certified test
reports in detail are available.
SML ratings are 25k, 30k and 50k pounds.
RTL ratings are consistent with the ANSI standard. Actual factory routine tests are conducted at loads equal
to or greater than the RTL rating.
Markings for XL insulator designs are permanently
embossed into the ground end corona shielding rings.
Markings include SML and RTL, part number, assembly date code, and Ohio Brass identification.
Lengths Available
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are available in lengths
appropriate for 69 kV through 765 kV. Longer lengths
can be produced for special projects. Length increments are approximately three inches.
Product Updates

pound ESP™. Housings manufactured with ESP silicone
alloy rubber exhibit hydrophobicity, high mechanical
strength, high corona resistance and low permeability
to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass’ live silicone interface. This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and contaminating elements. If the exterior seal is
damaged, redundant o-ring seals within the live silicone
interface prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive
elements between shed and rod.

JULY 2010

Hi*Lite XL insulator end fittings are attached with
an improved crimping process using the successful
principles of earlier Hi*Lite designs. The corona shield
has been refined; a more compact Corona Shielding
Ring (CSR) provides both electrical stress relief and a
mechanical seal at the housing-to-end fitting interface.
Packaging
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are packaged in appropriate quantities in wood crates. As an option, Ohio Brass
offers packaging of the insulators in individual sleeves.

Corona Performance

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are RIV and corona free through 161 kV, by the use of integral Corona Shield
Rings (CSR). Due to the small diameter of the end fittings, corona shielding is necessary at 230 kV and above.
The table below details the rings necessary for voltages equal to or exceeding that listed in the column header.

End Fitting Example
You need the electrical and mechanical characteristics
of Catalog #5130101001. But, a Y-clevis is needed at
the ground end instead of an eye. From the table at
the right, find the code for the Y-clevis/ball configuration 1201. You should order Catalog #5130101201.
The same process is used for 5/8" (25k) and 7/8"
(30k) insulators.

Hi*Lite*® XL Insulators
Hi*Lite XL line post insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer insulator
design and manufacture.
From the early prototypes in 1971, through full scale
introduction in 1976, and through the succeeding years,
Hi*Lite insulators have featured conservative design
and high-quality manufacture.
Today’s Hi*Lite insulators will add to the over 1,000,000
already in service worldwide.
Design
The structural design of the Hi*Lite XL consists of these
basic parts:
Rod - Hi*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from
the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned for
maximum tensile strength. The rod is more than 50
percent glass fibers in cross section.
End Fittings - End fittings are aluminum or ductile
iron. They are crimped directly to the rod by a special
process originated by Ohio Brass, and later adopted
by many other producers. The crimp requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor
does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure
injection molded by Ohio Brass, from the proprietary
compound ESP™. Housings manufactured with ESP
silicone alloy rubber exhibit hydrophobicity, high mechanical strength, high corona resistance and low
permeability to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass’ live silicone interface. This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and contaminating elements. If the exterior seal is
damaged, redundant o-ring seals within the live silicone
interface prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive
elements between shed and rod.
Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage
currents.
Washability
Hi*Lite Line Post insulators listed in this catalog are
suitable for flood washing up to 200 psi. The design incorporates positive, labyrinth seals to ensure long-term
security against water entry. Conventional dry-particle,
air-pressure cleaning methods may also be employed.
A cleaning guideline is available from Ohio Brass.
If your washing requirements exceed flood washing,
contact Ohio Brass.

JULY 2010

Mechanical Ratings
Line post insulators are basically cantilever support
members, with ratings defined as follows:
Specified Cantilever Load (SCL)
SCL is the ultimate cantilever strength rating of the
Hi*Lite XL line post insulator. SCL is identical to the
minimum average breaking load (ABL) rating in previous catalogs.
Reference Cantilever Load (RCL)
RCL is the maximum recommended load in cantilever
that a Hi*Lite XL post insulator is designed to withstand
during its life, and is equal to 50% of the SCL. RCL is
identical to maximum working load (MWL) listed in previous catalogs. Line design loads applied to post insulators often include tension, or compression, in addition
to the primary vertical cantilever load. In addition, some
longitudinal load is usually designed for as well.
Combined Load
Contact your Hubbell Power Systems representative for
combined load applications.

Jumper Clamps and Assemblies
A practical application of Hi*Lite line posts is for support
of jumper loops on transmission lines.
Horizontal motion of the jumper is restricted, and the factor
of wind sway is eliminated. Additionally the crossarm length
may be reduced. The Difference in cost of insulation is not
significant but, the savings in tower cost can be attractive.
Regardless of cost, the use of a jumper support improves
construction.
If using a single clamp, clamp position relative to the insulator may be changed by bolting the clamp through the
upper hole in the insulator end fitting.

DIMENSIONS AND
STRENGTH RATINGS

Catalog number covers complete assembly including
insulator and hardware as illustrated.
The need to minimize the tower size and visual impact of
transmission lines has prompted increased interest in braced
line posts, horizontal-V, and pivoting V assemblies. These
insulating structures offer vastly improved vertical load
capabilities over conventional lines posts while retaining the
advantages of a fixed conductor position.
A braced line post uses a conventional line post with a suspension string tied to the tower face with a link. A horizontal-V
replaces the link with a fixed offset extending from the tower
face adding a stabilizing force to the assembly. Both these
assemblies are available with flat or gain bases.

A pivoting horizontal-V assembly utilizes a line post insulator
fastened to the structure with a hinged base. Alternatively, the
base may be replaced with a universal joint.
These assemblies are available for voltages up to and including 345 kV with a wide variety of hardware to meet the needs
of your application. The figures illustrated depict typical arrangements which provide an economical means of withstanding unusual loads. For more information on these and
numerous other variations of line post assemblies, contact
your Ohio Brass representative.

Sample Polymer Specification
Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials.

I.	Material Design Tests
	 -	 The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.
1.	Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30° and electrodes
positioned 35mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400Ωcm)
and energized at 10kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes
if there is:
		
		
		

1.	No carbonization or tracking.
2.	No erosion through sample.
3.	No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.

	 The sample must withstand 15,000 test cycles.
2.	Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and
high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure
without damage.
3.	Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of
300,000 µstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like
electrode is placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in
a controlled humidity chamber.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting.
Samples must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.
4.	Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere
to the test temperature of 200°C. The atmosphere is then changed to air and the
temperature is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an
exothermic chemical reaction. The time to this reaction must exceed 300 minutes.
5.	Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The minimum acceptable tear strength is 150 lb./in.

II.	Other Requirements
-	 The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to
ensure production compliance with design tests.

Hi*Lite® XL Insulators
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer insulator design and manufacture.
From the early prototypes in 1971, through full scale introduction
in 1976, and through the succeeding years, Hi*Lite insulators have
featured conservative design and high-quality manufacture.
Today’s Hi*Lite insulators will add to the over 1,000,000 Hi*Lite
transmission insulators already in service worldwide.

Washability
Hi*Lite XL insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for flood washing up to 1,380 kPA (200 psi) at the ground pump level at a distance
not less than 4.6 meters (15 ft.) The design incorporates positive,
labyrinth seals to ensure long-term security against water entry.
Conventional dry-particle, air-pressure cleaning methods may be
employed.

The structural design of the Hi*Lite XL consists of these basic parts:

High Pressure wash designs are also available. Washing is permissible for up to 6,900 kPA (1,000 psi) ground pump pressure at a
distance no less than 1.8 meters (6 feet).

Rod - Hi*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from the highest
quality materials. Strands are aligned for maximum tensile strength.
The rod is more than 50 percent glass fibers in cross section.

Cleaning guidelines (Ohio Brass publication #EU1272-H for flood
and #EU1273-H for high pressure wash) are available from your
representative.

End Fittings - End fittings are steel or ductile iron. They are crimped
directly to the rod by a special process originated by Ohio Brass,
and later adopted by many other producers. The crimp develops a
high percentage of the rod’s inherent tensile strength. It requires no
inter-movement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor does it
introduce potting compounds or adhesives.

Mechanical Ratings

Design

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are rated and tested in accordance
with IEC 1109-1992 and ANSI C29.12-1997. Certified test reports in
detail are available.
SML ratings are 120 kN, 160 kN and 210 kN for insulators furnished
with IEC fittings. For insulators furnished with ANSI fittings, SML
ratings available are 111 kN (25K lbs.), 133 kN (30K lbs.), 160 kN
(36K lbs.) and 222 kN (50K lbs.) RTL ratings are consistent with the
IEC and ANSI standard. Actual factory routine tests are conducted at
loads equal to or greater than the RTL rating.
Markings for XL insulator design are permanently embossed into the
ground end corona shielding rings (CSR). Markings include SML and
RTL, part number, assembly date code, and Ohio Brass identification. These marks are consistent with the IEC and ANSI standard.

Lengths Available

Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure injection molded
by Ohio Brass, from the proprietary compound ESP™. Housings
manufactured with ESP silicone alloy rubber exhibit long-term hydrophobicity, high mechanical strength, excellent corona resistance
and low permeability to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass’ live silicone interface.
This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and contaminating elements. In the unlikely event the exterior seal is damaged, redundant
o-ring seals within the live silicone interface will prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive elements between shed and rod.

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are available in lengths appropriate for 69 kV through 765 kV. Longer lengths can be produced for
special projects. Intermediate lengths (utilizing an additional 2 sheds)
are also available (those that fall in between the catalog numbers
listed in the tables). Length increments are approximately 76 mm (3
inches).

Testing
The Hi*Lite XL suspension insulator has been successfully "Design"
tested to IEC 1109 at an independent laboratory. In addition, the
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulator has successfully completed the
5,000 hour accelerated aging test detailed in Annex C of IEC 1109.
A certified test report is available by contacting your Ohio Brass
representative and requesting bulletin EU1348-H.
Since the ANSI "Prototype" and IEC "Design" testing requirements
are virtually identical, the "Design" test report per IEC 1109 can
serve as verification of compliance to ANSI.

O-RINGS

Packaging
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are packaged in appropriate quantities in wooden crates 111.7 cm (44 inches) wide with the length of
the crate determined by the length of the insulator. The height of the
crate is normally less than 114.3 cm (45 inches). The gross weight
will not exceed 909 kg (2,000 lbs.). Crates are available for both
domestic and export transportation.

SILICONE
COMPOUND

Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for maximum
resistance to contamination and leakage currents. Specific leakage
distance (leakage divided by dry arcing distance) is higher than that
of porcelain. Hi*Lite XL insulators are offered in standard uniform
weathershed configuration and alternating (major/minor) weathershed configuration for applications requiring increased specified
leakage distances.

Corona Performance

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are RIV and corona free through 161 kV, by the use of integral Corona Shield
Rings (CSR). Corona shielding is necessary at 220/230 kV and above. The table below details the rings necessary for voltages equal to or less than that listed in the column header.

Notes:	 (1)	 For voltages above 400 kV, and other section lengths, contact your Ohio Brass representative.
	
(2)	 Electrical values are without corona ring. For voltages above 161 kV refer to Page 3 for Corona Rings, and associated physical/electrical changes
		
to above data. Dimensions are within allowable tolerances as specified by IEC 1109 and ANSI C29.12.

End Fitting Example
You need the electrical and mechanical charactieristics of Catalog #5110102201. But chain eye
is needed at the ground end instead of a Y-clevis.
From the table at the right, find the code for the chain
eye/ANSI ball configuration 2001. You should order
catalog number 5110102001. The same process is
used for other strength Hi*Lite XL insulators.

Veri*Lite Insulators embody the latest features available in polymer insulator design and manufacture.
Ohio Brass began its efforts in polymer research in the
early 1900s. After years of production and research
with polymeric compounds in the high voltage insulation field, Ohio Brass introduced the Hi*Lite insulator in
1976. A decade later the Ohio Brass polymer distribution arrester, PDV-100, was introduced as the first U.S.
made polymer-housed MOV arrester.
Today’s Veri*Lite post insulators build upon the experience of placing nearly 20 million polymer distribution
arresters, 17 million polymer deadend distribution insulators and 2 million high voltage transmission insulators in service. Ohio Brass is dedicated to providing a
quality product for the electric utility industry.

Design

The structural design of the Veri*Lite insulator consists
of three basic parts:
Rod - Veri*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced
from the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned
for maximum tensile strength. The rod is filled 65 percent, by volume, with electrical grade glass fibers.
End Fittings - Ferrous end fittings are directly crimped
to the fiberglass rod by a circumferential crimping process originated by Ohio Brass. The crimp requires no
intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength,
nor does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds - Veri*Lite insulators are manufactured
with OB’s proprietary silicone rubber.
Ohio Brass uses several tests to evaluate materials.
Tracking, QUV, corona cutting, salt fog, oxidative stability and variations of differential thermal analysis tests
assure the quality of OB’s shed material.

Leakage Distance

Veri*Lite insulators feature high leakage distance for
optimum contamination performance.

Washability

The Veri*Lite insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for washing by all known methods in current use.
Washing tests have been conducted with high-pressure equipment at close nozzle-to-insulator distances.
No water intrusion occurred after multiple washings.

JUNE 2012

Standards

Veri*Lite line post insulators meet ANSI C29.18-2003
and CEA LWIWG-02-1996 standards.
The Ohio Brass facility in Aiken, SC, USA is registered
for successful implementation of a quality system in
accordance with ISO 9001-2000.

Mechanical Ratings

Specified Cantilever Load (SCL) is the ultimate cantilever strength rating. Maximum Design Cantilever
Load (MDCL) or Working Cantilever Load (WCL) is the
maximum continuous cantilever load at which the post
insulator should be applied.

Markings

Markings are 0.12 inch high raised letters in the rubber
and include: Base catalog number, CEA LWIWG Class,
SCL in pounds, MDCL/WCL in kN and date code. Ohio
Brass identification is cast into the end fittings.

Equivalency

Equivalency of line post insulators involves a check of
the general characteristics.
MECHANICAL
	
Compare the SCL of the polymer insulator to the 	
	
cantilever strength rating of the porcelain insulator.
ELECTRICAL
	
Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite leakage distance.
	
Compare porcelain to Veri*Lite section length.

Insulation Coordination

The operating performance of a distribution or transmission line depends on its insulation level. It must not
flash over under practically any operating condition.
Several methods of coordination of line and station
insulation have been proposed. Generally, the best
method is to establish a definite common insulation
level for all the station insulation and then match that
level with the line insulation. With this approach, the
task is limited to three fundamental requirements:
1.	Selection of the Basic Impulse Insulation Level
(BIL).
2.	Specification of insulation with flashover characteristics equal to or greater than the selected BIL.
3.	The application of suitable overvoltage surge
protection.

OHIO BRASS – AIKEN, SC, USA

23-3
Satisfactory performance is generally achieved with an
insulator which has a dry 60 Hz flashover of three to
five times the phase-to-ground voltage and a leakage distance approximately twice the shortest air-gap
(strike) distance.

Packaging

Veri*Lite insulator standard packing is cartons on pallets. Larger orders for Veri*Lite posts may be shipped
in wood crates.

Sample Polymer Specification
Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials.

I.	Material Design Tests
	 -	 The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.
1.	Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30° and electrodes positioned 35 mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400 Ωcm) and energized at 10 kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes if there is:
		
		
		

1.	No carbonization or tracking.
2.	No erosion through sample.
3.	No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.

	 The sample must withstand 20,000 test cycles.
2.	Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure without damage.
3.	Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of 300,000
microstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like electrode is
placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in a controlled humidity chamber.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting. Samples
must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.
4.	Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential
scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere to the test
temperature of 200°C. The atmosphere is then changed to oxygen and the temperature
is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an exothermic chemical
reaction. The time for this reaction to occur must exceed 400 minutes.
5.	Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and
are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The acceptable nominal tear strength,
per ASTM method B, is 100 lb./in.

II.	Other Requirements
-	 The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to ensure
production compliance with design tests.

Application Curves for Veri*Lite Insulators
How to use the application curves. After you have
established the loading cases, you can use the curves
to determine whether a specific Veri*Lite unit meets
your loading requirement.
For example, consider the installation of a Veri*Lite
post number 80S025-0100 on a line with a vertical
cantilever load of 800 pounds and a compression
load of 900 pounds. By entering the curve at these

values, find the allowable longitudinal load to be 900
pounds.
When the posts are loaded in tension the cantilever
loading due to the combined effects of longitudinal,
vertical and tensile loads should not exceed the rated
tension working value.
IMPORTANT:	

The application curves should not be
extrapolated.

SUPER TOP-TIE® Line Ties
• for Pin, Post and Spool Insulators
Made of aluminum-clad steel compatible with aluminum,
aluminum-alloy and ACSR conductors in the top grooves of
vertical-mounted *ANSI Class C, F, J and many non-standard
pin and post insulators (single-or double-support) or on *ANSI
53-2 spool insulators (horizontal or vertical).
High-density polyethylene hooks provide the wide application range and ensure proper installation. If used over armor
rods (not required), select tie size based on total conductor/
armor diameter. Semiconductive-rubber pad and high-densitypolyethylene on loops protect against abrasion of insulator,
conductor and tie. Fit is resilient and provides superior
performance under galloping and aeolian vibration. Install
by hand or with hot-line tools.

Veri*Lite™

Silicone Rubber Line Post Insulators with
Universal Clamp for 15-69kV Applications
The Ohio Brass Universal Clamp end fitting is used with the Veri*LiteTM
Line Post (VLLP) insulator family. Combining the proven direct bond
silicone technology of the Ohio Brass VLLP design, the Universal
Clamp offers a flexible range-taking connection that can be installed in
either the vertical or horizontal direction. The Universal Clamp design
eliminates the need for a separate additional conductor clamp; saving
both money and installation time. In addition, the optional hotstickoperable feature provides flexibility for live-line work.
Design Features
•	 Proven direct bond interface
•	 Weathersheds molded with proprietary silicone rubber compound
•	 Universal clamp works for a conductor diameter range of 0.30”
(7.6 mm) to 1.34” (34 mm) to provide flexibility in the field
•	 Hotline option allows for live-line operability
•	 Can be installed in vertical or horizontal directions, thus reducing
inventory
•	 Integral design eliminates need for additional trunnion clamp
•	 Meets requirements of CEA LWIWG-02-1996 & ANSI C29.18-2003

Hi*Lite® XL Insulators
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer
insulator design and manufacture.
From the early prototypes in 1971, through full scale
introduction in 1976, and through the succeeding years,
Hi*Lite insulators have featured conservative design and
high-quality manufacture.
Today’s Hi*Lite insulators will add to the over 1,000,000
already in service worldwide.
Design
The structural design of the Hi*Lite XL consists of these
basic parts:
Rod - Hi*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from
the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned for
maximum tensile strength. The rod is more than 50 percent glass fibers in cross section.
End Fittings - End fittings are steel or ductile iron. They
are crimped directly to the rod by a special process
originated by Ohio Brass, and later adopted by many
other producers. The crimp develops a high percentage
of the rod’s inherent tensile strength. It requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor
does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure injection molded by Ohio Brass, from the proprietary com-

Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage currents. Specific leakage distance (leakage divided by dry
arcing distance) is higher than porcelain. Contact Ohio
Brass if you have extra-high leakage distance needs.
Washability
Hi*Lite insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for
flood washing up to 200 psi. The design incorporates
positive, labyrinth seals to ensure long-term security
against water entry. Conventional dry-particle, airpressure cleaning methods may also be employed. A
cleaning guideline is available from Ohio Brass.
If your washing requirements exceed flood washing,
contact Ohio Brass.
Mechanical Ratings
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are rated and tested in
accordance with ANSI Standard C29.11. Certified test
reports in detail are available.
SML ratings are 25k, 30k and 50k pounds.
RTL ratings are consistent with the ANSI standard. Actual factory routine tests are conducted at loads equal
to or greater than the RTL rating.
Markings for XL insulator designs are permanently
embossed into the ground end corona shielding rings.
Markings include SML and RTL, part number, assembly date code, and Ohio Brass identification.
Lengths Available
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are available in lengths
appropriate for 69 kV through 765 kV. Longer lengths
can be produced for special projects. Length increments are approximately three inches.
Product Updates

pound ESP™. Housings manufactured with ESP silicone
alloy rubber exhibit hydrophobicity, high mechanical
strength, high corona resistance and low permeability
to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass’ live silicone interface. This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and contaminating elements. If the exterior seal is
damaged, redundant o-ring seals within the live silicone
interface prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive
elements between shed and rod.

JULY 2010

Hi*Lite XL insulator end fittings are attached with
an improved crimping process using the successful
principles of earlier Hi*Lite designs. The corona shield
has been refined; a more compact Corona Shielding
Ring (CSR) provides both electrical stress relief and a
mechanical seal at the housing-to-end fitting interface.
Packaging
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are packaged in appropriate quantities in wood crates. As an option, Ohio Brass
offers packaging of the insulators in individual sleeves.

Corona Performance

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are RIV and corona free through 161 kV, by the use of integral Corona Shield
Rings (CSR). Due to the small diameter of the end fittings, corona shielding is necessary at 230 kV and above.
The table below details the rings necessary for voltages equal to or exceeding that listed in the column header.

End Fitting Example
You need the electrical and mechanical characteristics
of Catalog #5130101001. But, a Y-clevis is needed at

Hi*Lite*® XL Insulators
Hi*Lite XL line post insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer insulator
design and manufacture.
From the early prototypes in 1971, through full scale
introduction in 1976, and through the succeeding years,
Hi*Lite insulators have featured conservative design
and high-quality manufacture.
Today’s Hi*Lite insulators will add to the over 1,000,000
already in service worldwide.
Design
The structural design of the Hi*Lite XL consists of these
basic parts:
Rod - Hi*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from
the highest quality materials. Strands are aligned for
maximum tensile strength. The rod is more than 50
percent glass fibers in cross section.
End Fittings - End fittings are aluminum or ductile
iron. They are crimped directly to the rod by a special
process originated by Ohio Brass, and later adopted
by many other producers. The crimp requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor
does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives.
Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure
injection molded by Ohio Brass, from the proprietary
compound ESP™. Housings manufactured with ESP
silicone alloy rubber exhibit hydrophobicity, high mechanical strength, high corona resistance and low
permeability to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass’ live silicone interface. This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and contaminating elements. If the exterior seal is
damaged, redundant o-ring seals within the live silicone
interface prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive
elements between shed and rod.
Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage
currents.
Washability
Hi*Lite Line Post insulators listed in this catalog are
suitable for flood washing up to 200 psi. The design incorporates positive, labyrinth seals to ensure long-term
security against water entry. Conventional dry-particle,
air-pressure cleaning methods may also be employed.
A cleaning guideline is available from Ohio Brass.
If your washing requirements exceed flood washing,
contact Ohio Brass.

JULY 2010

Mechanical Ratings
Line post insulators are basically cantilever support
members, with ratings defined as follows:
Specified Cantilever Load (SCL)
SCL is the ultimate cantilever strength rating of the
Hi*Lite XL line post insulator. SCL is identical to the
minimum average breaking load (ABL) rating in previous catalogs.
Reference Cantilever Load (RCL)
RCL is the maximum recommended load in cantilever
that a Hi*Lite XL post insulator is designed to withstand
during its life, and is equal to 50% of the SCL. RCL is
identical to maximum working load (MWL) listed in previous catalogs. Line design loads applied to post insulators often include tension, or compression, in addition
to the primary vertical cantilever load. In addition, some
longitudinal load is usually designed for as well.
Combined Load
Contact your Hubbell Power Systems representative for
combined load applications.

Jumper Clamps and Assemblies
A practical application of Hi*Lite line posts is for support
of jumper loops on transmission lines.
Horizontal motion of the jumper is restricted, and the factor
of wind sway is eliminated. Additionally the crossarm length
may be reduced. The Difference in cost of insulation is not
significant but, the savings in tower cost can be attractive.
Regardless of cost, the use of a jumper support improves
construction.
If using a single clamp, clamp position relative to the insulator may be changed by bolting the clamp through the
upper hole in the insulator end fitting.

DIMENSIONS AND
STRENGTH RATINGS

Catalog number covers complete assembly including
insulator and hardware as illustrated.
The need to minimize the tower size and visual impact of
transmission lines has prompted increased interest in braced
line posts, horizontal-V, and pivoting V assemblies. These
insulating structures offer vastly improved vertical load
capabilities over conventional lines posts while retaining the
advantages of a fixed conductor position.
A braced line post uses a conventional line post with a suspension string tied to the tower face with a link. A horizontal-V
replaces the link with a fixed offset extending from the tower
face adding a stabilizing force to the assembly. Both these
assemblies are available with flat or gain bases.

A pivoting horizontal-V assembly utilizes a line post insulator
fastened to the structure with a hinged base. Alternatively, the
base may be replaced with a universal joint.
These assemblies are available for voltages up to and including 345 kV with a wide variety of hardware to meet the needs
of your application. The figures illustrated depict typical arrangements which provide an economical means of withstanding unusual loads. For more information on these and
numerous other variations of line post assemblies, contact
your Ohio Brass representative.

Sample Polymer Specification
Purpose: To ensure a suitable service life of polymer insulating materials.

I.	Material Design Tests
	 -	 The following must be performed to certify a material for use in production.
1.	Tracking test: Performed on a sample of material inclined at 30° and electrodes
positioned 35mm apart. Samples are sprayed with a conductive solution (400Ωcm)
and energized at 10kV. The cycle is repeated every 90 seconds. The sample passes
if there is:
		
		
		

1.	No carbonization or tracking.
2.	No erosion through sample.
3.	No leakage current flow at the end of 90 seconds.

	 The sample must withstand 15,000 test cycles.
2.	Ultraviolet Test: Samples of the rubber must be tested in a QUV tester or equivalent cyclic weatherometer. The samples are exposed to high ultraviolet radiation and
high humidity without cracking, checking or becoming hydrophilic.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if it exceeds 8,000 hours of exposure
without damage.
3.	Corona Cutting: Samples 5 cm by 7 cm are subjected to mechanical stress of
300,000 µstrain by bending samples around a grounded electrode. A needle-like
electrode is placed 1 mm from the surface of the sample and energized at 12 kV in
a controlled humidity chamber.
	 The sample is judged to have passed this test if there is no splitting or cutting.
Samples must pass 1,000 hours of exposure to this test.
4.	Oxidative Stability: Samples of the polymer compound are tested using differential scanning calorimetry. Samples are heated rapidly in a nitrogen atmosphere
to the test temperature of 200°C. The atmosphere is then changed to air and the
temperature is maintained until the antioxidant is consumed, as measured by an
exothermic chemical reaction. The time to this reaction must exceed 300 minutes.
5.	Tear Strength: Rubber test slabs are prepared in accordance with ASTM Standards and are tested to determine tear strength of the material. The minimum acceptable tear strength is 150 lb./in.

II.	Other Requirements
-	 The manufacturer must supply upon request a listing of routine tests performed to
ensure production compliance with design tests.

Hi*Lite® XL Insulators
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators in this publication embody the latest features available in polymer insulator design and manufacture.
From the early prototypes in 1971, through full scale introduction
in 1976, and through the succeeding years, Hi*Lite insulators have
featured conservative design and high-quality manufacture.
Today’s Hi*Lite insulators will add to the over 1,000,000 Hi*Lite
transmission insulators already in service worldwide.

Washability
Hi*Lite XL insulators listed in this catalog are suitable for flood washing up to 1,380 kPA (200 psi) at the ground pump level at a distance
not less than 4.6 meters (15 ft.) The design incorporates positive,
labyrinth seals to ensure long-term security against water entry.
Conventional dry-particle, air-pressure cleaning methods may be
employed.

The structural design of the Hi*Lite XL consists of these basic parts:

High Pressure wash designs are also available. Washing is permissible for up to 6,900 kPA (1,000 psi) ground pump pressure at a
distance no less than 1.8 meters (6 feet).

Rod - Hi*Lite insulator fiberglass rod is produced from the highest
quality materials. Strands are aligned for maximum tensile strength.
The rod is more than 50 percent glass fibers in cross section.

Cleaning guidelines (Ohio Brass publication #EU1272-H for flood
and #EU1273-H for high pressure wash) are available from your
representative.

End Fittings - End fittings are steel or ductile iron. They are crimped
directly to the rod by a special process originated by Ohio Brass,
and later adopted by many other producers. The crimp develops a
high percentage of the rod’s inherent tensile strength. It requires no
inter-movement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor does it
introduce potting compounds or adhesives.

Mechanical Ratings

Design

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are rated and tested in accordance
with IEC 1109-1992 and ANSI C29.12-1997. Certified test reports in
detail are available.
SML ratings are 120 kN, 160 kN and 210 kN for insulators furnished
with IEC fittings. For insulators furnished with ANSI fittings, SML
ratings available are 111 kN (25K lbs.), 133 kN (30K lbs.), 160 kN
(36K lbs.) and 222 kN (50K lbs.) RTL ratings are consistent with the
IEC and ANSI standard. Actual factory routine tests are conducted at
loads equal to or greater than the RTL rating.
Markings for XL insulator design are permanently embossed into the
ground end corona shielding rings (CSR). Markings include SML and
RTL, part number, assembly date code, and Ohio Brass identification. These marks are consistent with the IEC and ANSI standard.

Lengths Available

Weathersheds - Weathersheds are high pressure injection molded
by Ohio Brass, from the proprietary compound ESP™. Housings
manufactured with ESP silicone alloy rubber exhibit long-term hydrophobicity, high mechanical strength, excellent corona resistance
and low permeability to moisture.
Interface - Hi*Lite insulators use Ohio Brass’ live silicone interface.
This feature prevents intrusion of moisture and contaminating elements. In the unlikely event the exterior seal is damaged, redundant
o-ring seals within the live silicone interface will prohibit the lengthwise migration of intrusive elements between shed and rod.

Hi*Lite XL suspension insulators are available in lengths appropriate for 69 kV through 765 kV. Longer lengths can be produced for
special projects. Intermediate lengths (utilizing an additional 2 sheds)
are also available (those that fall in between the catalog numbers
listed in the tables). Length increments are approximately 76 mm (3
inches).

Testing
The Hi*Lite XL suspension insulator has been successfully "Design"
tested to IEC 1109 at an independent laboratory. In addition, the
Hi*Lite XL suspension insulator has successfully completed the
5,000 hour accelerated aging test detailed in Annex C of IEC 1109.
A certified test report is available by contacting your Ohio Brass
representative and requesting bulletin EU1348-H.
Since the ANSI "Prototype" and IEC "Design" testing requirements
are virtually identical, the "Design" test report per IEC 1109 can
serve as verification of compliance to ANSI.

O-RINGS

Packaging
Hi*Lite suspension insulators are packaged in appropriate quantities in wooden crates 111.7 cm (44 inches) wide with the length of
the crate determined by the length of the insulator. The height of the
crate is normally less than 114.3 cm (45 inches). The gross weight
will not exceed 909 kg (2,000 lbs.). Crates are available for both
domestic and export transportation.

ROD
SILICONE
COMPOUND

Leakage Distance
Hi*Lite XL insulators feature high leakage distance for maximum
resistance to contamination and leakage currents. Specific leakage
distance (leakage divided by dry arcing distance) is higher than that
of porcelain. Hi*Lite XL insulators are offered in standard uniform
weathershed configuration and alternating (major/minor) weathershed configuration for applications requiring increased specified
leakage distances.

Notes:	 (1)	 For voltages above 400 kV, and other section lengths, contact your Ohio Brass representative.
	
(2)	 Electrical values are without corona ring. For voltages above 161 kV refer to Page 3 for Corona Rings, and associated physical/electrical changes
		
to above data. Dimensions are within allowable tolerances as specified by IEC 1109 and ANSI C29.12.

End Fitting Example
You need the electrical and mechanical charactieristics of Catalog #5110102201. But chain eye
is needed at the ground end instead of a Y-clevis.
From the table at the right, find the code for the chain
eye/ANSI ball configuration 2001. You should order
catalog number 5110102001. The same process is
used for other strength Hi*Lite XL insulators.

Design
Sealing System — This four-point sealing system provides superior performance by preventing moisture
penetration between the silicone rubber and end-fitting interface. The design is based on four redundant
seals that provide unmatched protection to the fiberglass core rod. RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanate) is
completely encapsulated within the interior of the end-fitting and is not utilized as an exterior seal as with
other silicone designs.

[ Revolutionary Four-Point Seal ]

Corona Shielding Ring (CSR) — The Quadri*Sil® end-fitting design provides superior electric field
shielding of the silicone rubber adjacent to the end-fitting. The superior shielding protects the silicone
rubber on applications where an external corona ring is not required.
Direct Bond — The silicone rubber material is bonded directly to the fiberglass core rod during the
molding process. The resulting bond between the silicone rubber and fiberglass rod is mechanically
stronger than the tear strength of the silicone rubber.
Crimp Method — A circumferential crimp creates
a more uniform stress distribution to ensure the
mechanical integrity of the Quadri*Sil® insulator.
Ohio Brass pioneered the crimping process in
1976 — today it has become the industry standard.

page 4

January 2011

Components and Materials
Polymer Weathersheds — The polymer weathershed material utilized in the Quadri*Sil® insulator
design is a proprietary silicone-rubber compound specifically designed by Ohio Brass engineers for
high-voltage insulator applications. The polymer weathershed material starts with 100-percent base
silicone rubber before additives and fillers are compounded with the base rubber. Hubbell Power
Systems (HPS) controls the entire process from the proprietary formulation to the complete mixing
process. The proprietary formulation incorporates the inherent hydrophobicity and UV performance of
silicone rubber while providing superior tracking performance as demonstrated in dry-band arcing
tests. For more information about our silicone rubber, please contact your HPS representative.
Fiberglass Core Rod — The Quadri*Sil® suspension insulator’s fiberglass core rod is produced with
boron-free, corrosion-resistant E-glass and epoxy resin. Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are manufactured with electrical grade glass and epoxy resin.
End Fittings — Made of steel or ductile iron, the end-fittings are directly attached to the fiberglass core
rod by a circumferential crimping process. This crimping process allows the end fittings to utilize the rod’s
inherent tensile strength.

Grading Rings — Also known as corona rings, grading rings are manufactured using high-grade
aluminum alloy, making them strong, light, and corrosion-resistant. Grading (corona) rings can be
packaged separately or inside the insulator crates with all mounting hardware included.

Leakage Distance
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators feature standard and high leakage distance weathershed profiles for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage currents in various environmental applications. The
hydrophobic nature of our silicone rubber ensures superior performance in contaminated environments.

January 2011

High Pressure Washing
Quadri*Sil® transmission insulators normally do not require washing or other routine maintenance.
Washing may be required if the insulators are installed in an area of severe environmental contamination.
In the event that washing is required, the procedures outlined in Section IX of the “IEEE GUIDE FOR
INSULATOR CLEANING,” IEEE STD 957-2005 are generally applicable.

Mechanical Ratings
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are rated and tested in accordance with IEC 61109 and ANSI
C29.12. Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are rated and tested in accordance with IEC 61952 and ANSI
C29.17. Certified test reports are available.
For suspension insulators, SML ratings are 120 kN, 160 kN, 210 kN, 25 kip, 30 kip, and 50 kip with
appropriate rod size and end fittings. RTL ratings are consistent with the IEC and ANSI standards.
Factory routine tests are conducted on 100 percent of all insulators to the RTL rating.

Markings
Markings for Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are placed on a UV-resistant label located on the
ground end fitting. Markings for Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are placed on a metal plate on the
mounting base of the insulator. Markings include SML and RTL (for suspension), SCL and RCL (for
line post), part number, assembly date code, and Hubbell Power Systems identification.
These markings are consistent with applicable IEC and ANSI standards.

Insulator Lengths
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are available in lengths appropriate for 69 kV through 765 kV.
Longer lengths can be produced for special projects. Intermediate lengths – those that fall in
between the catalog numbers listed in the tables – are also available. Length increments are
approximately 2.2 inches (56 mm) for suspension insulators and 2.4 inches (61 mm) for vertical
and horizontal line post insulators.

January 2011

Testing
Quadri*Sil® insulators have been tested successfully to meet the requirements of IEC 61109 and
ANSI C29.11. For a certified test report or additional information related to product testing, please
contact your HPS representative.

Packaging
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are packaged in wooden crates 44 inches (111.7 cm) wide with
the length of the crate determined by the length of the insulator. The height of the crate is normally
less than 45 inches (114.3 cm). The gross weight will not exceed 2,000 pounds (909 kg). Crates are
available for both domestic and export transportation.
The Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are packaged in appropriate quantities in open wood crates. Line
post insulators are packaged to prevent the metal bases from resting on the polymer weathershed material.

Mechanical Ratings
Line post insulators are cantilever support members, with ratings defined as follows:

Specified Cantilever Load (SCL)
SCL is the ultimate cantilever strength rating of the Quadri*Sil® line post insulator. SCL is identical to
the minimum average breaking load (ABL) rating in previous catalogs.

Reference Cantilever Load (RCL)
RCL represents the maximum recommended load in cantilever that a Quadri*Sil® post insulator is
designed to withstand during its life span. RCL equals 50 percent of the SCL, and is identical to the
insulator’s maximum working load (MWL) and maximum design cantilever load (MDCL).

Combined Load Charts
Line design loads for most insulators include tension, or compression, in addition to the primary
vertical cantilever load. Longitudinal loading should also be considered. Contact your Hubbell Power
Systems representative to request combined load charts.

A practical application of Quadri*Sil® line posts is for
support of jumper loops on transmission lines.
Horizontal motion of the jumper is restricted, and the
factor of wind sway is eliminated. Additionally, the
crossarm length may be reduced. The difference in
cost of insulation is not significant, but the saving in
tower cost can be attractive. Regardless of cost, the
use of a jumper support improves construction.
If using a single clamp, clamp postition relative to
the insulator may be changed by bolting the clamp
through the upper hole in the insulator end fitting.
Jumper clamps are not intended for tangent
span applications.

Braced Line Post Assemblies
The need to minimize tower size and visual impact of transmission lines has prompted increased
interest in braced line posts, horizontal-V, and pivoting V assemblies. These insulating structures offer
vastly improved vertical load capabilities over conventional line posts, while retaining the advantages
of a fixed conductor position.
A braced line post insulator uses a conventional line post with a suspension string tied to the tower
face. Some of the characteristics of a braced line post are:
• It uses a traditional fixed base line post.
• The longitudinal strength is limited to the RCL rating of the line post component.
• It generates high tower torque (Z-direction) under longitudinal loading.
A horizontal-V insulator uses a conventional line post with a suspension string at a fixed offset
extending from the tower face, adding a stabilizing force to the assembly. Some of the characteristics
of a horizontal-V assembly are:
• It uses a fixed base horizontal line post (zero degree upsweep).
• It has an inclined hinge axis to add resistance to longitudinal movement.
• It employs a suspension insulator ground end stub arm (vang).
• The longitudinal strength is limited to the RCL rating of the line post component.
• It generates high tower torque (Z-direction) under longitudinal loading.
A pivoting horizontal-V insulator uses a conventional suspension string with a line post insulator fastened to the structure with a hinged base. Some of the characteristics of a pivoting horizontal-V are:
• It pivots about an inclined axis.
• It employs a suspension insulator ground end stub arm (vang).
• It uses a universal joint or pivot base on the strut.
• It has high longitudinal strength.
• It generates low tower torque (Z-direction) under longitudinal loading.
• The assembly’s swing angle is a function of the vertical load and the tower offset pivot angle.
• The assembly’s maximum longitudinal loading is a function of the tensile rating of the strut.
The tables included on the following pages — and the images on the assembly drawings page —
cover typical arrangements that provide an efficient means of withstanding unusual loads. For more
information on these and numerous other variations of line post assemblies, contact your
Hubbell Power Systems representative.

Design
Sealing System — This four-point sealing system provides superior performance by preventing moisture
penetration between the silicone rubber and end-fitting interface. The design is based on four redundant
seals that provide unmatched protection to the fiberglass core rod. RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanate) is
completely encapsulated within the interior of the end-fitting and is not utilized as an exterior seal as with
other silicone designs.

[ Revolutionary Four-Point Seal ]

Corona Shielding Ring (CSR) — The Quadri*Sil® end-fitting design provides superior electric field
shielding of the silicone rubber adjacent to the end-fitting. The superior shielding protects the silicone
rubber on applications where an external corona ring is not required.
Direct Bond — The silicone rubber material is bonded directly to the fiberglass core rod during the
molding process. The resulting bond between the silicone rubber and fiberglass rod is mechanically
stronger than the tear strength of the silicone rubber.
Crimp Method — A circumferential crimp creates
a more uniform stress distribution to ensure the
mechanical integrity of the Quadri*Sil® insulator.
Ohio Brass pioneered the crimping process in
1976 — today it has become the industry standard.

page 4

January 2011

Components and Materials
Polymer Weathersheds — The polymer weathershed material utilized in the Quadri*Sil® insulator
design is a proprietary silicone-rubber compound specifically designed by Ohio Brass engineers for
high-voltage insulator applications. The polymer weathershed material starts with 100-percent base
silicone rubber before additives and fillers are compounded with the base rubber. Hubbell Power
Systems (HPS) controls the entire process from the proprietary formulation to the complete mixing
process. The proprietary formulation incorporates the inherent hydrophobicity and UV performance of
silicone rubber while providing superior tracking performance as demonstrated in dry-band arcing
tests. For more information about our silicone rubber, please contact your HPS representative.
Fiberglass Core Rod — The Quadri*Sil® suspension insulator’s fiberglass core rod is produced with
boron-free, corrosion-resistant E-glass and epoxy resin. Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are manufactured with electrical grade glass and epoxy resin.
End Fittings — Made of steel or ductile iron, the end-fittings are directly attached to the fiberglass core
rod by a circumferential crimping process. This crimping process allows the end fittings to utilize the rod’s
inherent tensile strength.

Grading Rings — Also known as corona rings, grading rings are manufactured using high-grade
aluminum alloy, making them strong, light, and corrosion-resistant. Grading (corona) rings can be
packaged separately or inside the insulator crates with all mounting hardware included.

Leakage Distance
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators feature standard and high leakage distance weathershed profiles for
maximum resistance to contamination and leakage currents in various environmental applications. The
hydrophobic nature of our silicone rubber ensures superior performance in contaminated environments.

January 2011

High Pressure Washing
Quadri*Sil® transmission insulators normally do not require washing or other routine maintenance.
Washing may be required if the insulators are installed in an area of severe environmental contamination.
In the event that washing is required, the procedures outlined in Section IX of the “IEEE GUIDE FOR
INSULATOR CLEANING,” IEEE STD 957-2005 are generally applicable.

Mechanical Ratings
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are rated and tested in accordance with IEC 61109 and ANSI
C29.12. Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are rated and tested in accordance with IEC 61952 and ANSI
C29.17. Certified test reports are available.
For suspension insulators, SML ratings are 120 kN, 160 kN, 210 kN, 25 kip, 30 kip, and 50 kip with
appropriate rod size and end fittings. RTL ratings are consistent with the IEC and ANSI standards.
Factory routine tests are conducted on 100 percent of all insulators to the RTL rating.

Markings
Markings for Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are placed on a UV-resistant label located on the
ground end fitting. Markings for Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are placed on a metal plate on the
mounting base of the insulator. Markings include SML and RTL (for suspension), SCL and RCL (for
line post), part number, assembly date code, and Hubbell Power Systems identification.
These markings are consistent with applicable IEC and ANSI standards.

Insulator Lengths
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are available in lengths appropriate for 69 kV through 765 kV.
Longer lengths can be produced for special projects. Intermediate lengths – those that fall in
between the catalog numbers listed in the tables – are also available. Length increments are
approximately 2.2 inches (56 mm) for suspension insulators and 2.4 inches (61 mm) for vertical
and horizontal line post insulators.

Testing
Quadri*Sil® insulators have been tested successfully to meet the requirements of IEC 61109 and
ANSI C29.11. For a certified test report or additional information related to product testing, please
contact your HPS representative.

Packaging
Quadri*Sil® suspension insulators are packaged in wooden crates 44 inches (111.7 cm) wide with
the length of the crate determined by the length of the insulator. The height of the crate is normally
less than 45 inches (114.3 cm). The gross weight will not exceed 2,000 pounds (909 kg). Crates are
available for both domestic and export transportation.
The Quadri*Sil® line post insulators are packaged in appropriate quantities in open wood crates. Line
post insulators are packaged to prevent the metal bases from resting on the polymer weathershed material.

Catalog Number Key
The Quadri*Sil ® Insulators Numbering Scheme is organized according to a smart numbering system. Each group of digits defines a
characteristic of the product you are ordering. To fill out this form, start on “a: Insulator Type.” Then, fill in your selection in the box
corresponding to the letter “a.” Apply the same rule for all the other sections.

a

Insulator Type

P — Post or

S — Suspension

d

Weathershed Profile
Suspension
S — Standard Leakage Distance (2.5)
H — High Leakage Distance (2.9 or 3.3)

a) Insulator type. Defines your insulator type: Post or Suspension.
Select “P” or “S” for Post or Suspension, respectively, and fill in your
selection in the box designated for “a.” In this example, we selected a
suspension insulator.

Post
S — Standard Leakage Distance

S

b

d) Weathershed Profile. Defines the leakage distance design. For a suspension
insulator with standard leakage distance, use “S.” For a suspension insulator
with high leakage distance, use “H.” For a line post, only the standard leakage
distance design is available. Fill in your selection in the box designated for “d.”
For example, if you want an insulator with high leakage distance, you would
place an “H” in the box designated “d.”

Mechanical Ratings
Line post insulators are cantilever support members, with ratings defined as follows:

Specified Cantilever Load (SCL)
SCL is the ultimate cantilever strength rating of the Quadri*Sil® line post insulator. SCL is identical to
the minimum average breaking load (ABL) rating in previous catalogs.

Reference Cantilever Load (RCL)
RCL represents the maximum recommended load in cantilever that a Quadri*Sil® post insulator is
designed to withstand during its life span. RCL equals 50 percent of the SCL, and is identical to the
insulator’s maximum working load (MWL) and maximum design cantilever load (MDCL).

Combined Load Charts
Line design loads for most insulators include tension, or compression, in addition to the primary
vertical cantilever load. Longitudinal loading should also be considered. Contact your Hubbell Power
Systems representative to request combined load charts.

A practical application of Quadri*Sil® line posts is for
support of jumper loops on transmission lines.
Horizontal motion of the jumper is restricted, and the
factor of wind sway is eliminated. Additionally, the
crossarm length may be reduced. The difference in
cost of insulation is not significant, but the saving in
tower cost can be attractive. Regardless of cost, the
use of a jumper support improves construction.
If using a single clamp, clamp postition relative to
the insulator may be changed by bolting the clamp
through the upper hole in the insulator end fitting.
Jumper clamps are not intended for tangent
span applications.

Braced Line Post Assemblies
The need to minimize tower size and visual impact of transmission lines has prompted increased
interest in braced line posts, horizontal-V, and pivoting V assemblies. These insulating structures offer
vastly improved vertical load capabilities over conventional line posts, while retaining the advantages
of a fixed conductor position.
A braced line post insulator uses a conventional line post with a suspension string tied to the tower
face. Some of the characteristics of a braced line post are:
• It uses a traditional fixed base line post.
• The longitudinal strength is limited to the RCL rating of the line post component.
• It generates high tower torque (Z-direction) under longitudinal loading.
A horizontal-V insulator uses a conventional line post with a suspension string at a fixed offset
extending from the tower face, adding a stabilizing force to the assembly. Some of the characteristics
of a horizontal-V assembly are:
• It uses a fixed base horizontal line post (zero degree upsweep).
• It has an inclined hinge axis to add resistance to longitudinal movement.
• It employs a suspension insulator ground end stub arm (vang).
• The longitudinal strength is limited to the RCL rating of the line post component.
• It generates high tower torque (Z-direction) under longitudinal loading.
A pivoting horizontal-V insulator uses a conventional suspension string with a line post insulator fastened to the structure with a hinged base. Some of the characteristics of a pivoting horizontal-V are:
• It pivots about an inclined axis.
• It employs a suspension insulator ground end stub arm (vang).
• It uses a universal joint or pivot base on the strut.
• It has high longitudinal strength.
• It generates low tower torque (Z-direction) under longitudinal loading.
• The assembly’s swing angle is a function of the vertical load and the tower offset pivot angle.
• The assembly’s maximum longitudinal loading is a function of the tensile rating of the strut.
The tables included on the following pages — and the images on the assembly drawings page —
cover typical arrangements that provide an efficient means of withstanding unusual loads. For more
information on these and numerous other variations of line post assemblies, contact your
Hubbell Power Systems representative.

Catalog Number Key
Due to the numerous variations available for braced line post assemblies, the following catalog number scheme is presented primarily for informational
purposes. For custom-made braced line post assemblies, please refer to publication Insulator Selection Guide – Transmission (EF9091T), available via
www.hubbellpowersystems.com under “Literature” > “Literature Brochures” > “Ohio Brass Insulators and Arresters.”
Please follow the instructions in the Insulator Selection Guide and return the filled-out form to your Hubbell Power Systems representative. Filling out the
form with as much information as possible will ensure that our engineers receive all the critical dimensions and information needed to design your braced
line post assembly. For information on braced line post assemblies not included in this catalog, please contact your HPS representative.

Polymer Length

Your complete part number will be BLP075F12001
Polymer length of the line post member (in inches). The nominal polymer
length (in inches) of the line post insulator is specified to help define
voltage rating of the braced line post assembly. Refer to the Horizontal
Line Post Insulators table on page 21 for appropriate polymer lengths.
Fill in your selection in the boxes designated for section “b.” For example,
if you want a Braced Line Post with a 75-inch polymer length, enter “075.”

Upsweep Angle
The upsweep angle of the assembly is defined to help identify the assembly.
Typically, braced line post assemblies will have 12 degrees of upsweep
angle, and horizontal-V and pivoting-V assemblies will have 0 degrees.
Fill in your selection in the box designated for section “d” for the upsweep
angle. For example, if you chose a braced line post assembly, enter “12.”

TECHNICAL TERMS REFERENCE GUIDE
ANSI – The American National Standards Institute verifies that the standard developers are complying
with the consensus and all other approval criteria.
Boron-free E-Glass – Electrical grade fiberglass that has corrosion resistance greater than boron
containing E-glass; it is environmentally friendly due to the lack of boron and fluorine.
Combined Load Charts – Also referred to as application curves; a graphical representation that
shows how the maximum working loads interact for a given line post or braced line post assembly.
Corona – A luminous discharge resulting from ionization of the air surrounding a conductor around
which a voltage gradient exceeding a certain critical value exists.
Dry Band Arcing – Electrical flashes that occur between wet and dry spots over the contaminated
surface of an insulator.
E-Glass – Electrical grade fiberglass; the first glass used for high-voltage insulators.
Flashover – A disruptive discharge that is capable of breaking the insulation level provided by the air
around the insulator, which creates an arc between parts of different potential or polarity.
IEC – The International Electrotechnical Commission develops and publishes international standards
for all electrical technologies.
Leakage Distance – The distance between the conductive end fittings of the insulator across
the insulator surface, moving in and out of the sheds; also commonly referred to as the creep or
creepage distance.
RCL – Reference Cantilever Load is the maximum design cantilever load (MDCL), which is rated at
50 percent of the part’s SCL.
RIV – Radio-Interference Voltages are caused by electric currents that produce magnetic and
electrostatic fields that are capable of inducing high-frequency voltage pulses in nearby radio
antennas. The RIV of an insulator is measured under conditions specified by industry standards.
RTV – Room Temperature Vulcanate (elastomer sealant) is a silicone rubber that cures at
room temperature.
RTL – Routine Test Load is the maximum design tension load, which is rated at 50 percent of the
part’s SML. All parts are tested at this rating prior to being shipped.
Section Length – The straight-line distance between the coupling points of the insulator’s end fittings.
SCL – Specified Cantilever Load is the minimum ultimate cantilever strength of the part.
SML – Specified Mechanical Load is the minimum ultimate tensile strength of the part.
Strike Distance – The shortest distance across the insulator surface, between the end fittings of the
insulator; also commonly referred to as the dry arc distance or tight string distance.
