S&C - Model Cypoxy -Insulators and Custom Components
S&C’s Cypoxy insulators incorporate a uniquely formulated cycloaliphatic epoxy resin system especially tailored to provide the electrical and mechanical strength characteristics detailed in industry standards for porcelain insulators
Cypoxy Insulators and Custom Components provide uncompromising performance in indoor and outdoor applications. Cypoxy is a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin material that won`t track, even in the harshest environments. It’s self-scouring and non-weathering. Cypoxy withstands high-power arcs without damage and resists ultraviolet radiation. Cypoxy’s design flexibility enables special skirt configurations that maximize leakage distance.
Cypoxy has been proven by exhaustive testing and over 30 years of field experience to handle all climates. Its durability and economy have been demonstrated through over tens of millions of components in use in medium-voltage applications worldwide.
Station Post Insulators
Cypoxy Station Post Insulators deliver real value in substation fuse, switch, and bus applications. They offer up to 25% greater dry-arcing distance than comparable porcelain insulators, resulting in fewer costly outages from animal intrusion. And they have equal or greater leakage distance than equivalent porcelain insulators. They’re as much as 50% lighter too, making handling much easier.
Cypoxy Station Post Insulators are also more resistant to damaging power arcs and maintain full BIL after interruption of the arc. They’re less susceptible to vandalism as well. Their solid-dielectric construction means that—unlike porcelain—there’s no glaze to chip. They maintain full track resistance even when damaged. The result: lower substation maintenance costs.
