A Distribution Transformer is a crucial component in electrical power distribution systems. Its primary function is to step down the voltage from the higher levels used in distribution lines (typically 11 kV, 33 kV, or occasionally higher) to the much lower voltages required by end consumers (like 400/230 V, 240/120 V, etc.) for safe use in homes, businesses, and industries.
A glass insulator is a device made of glass, historically used on telephone, telegraph, and electrical power lines to electrically isolate the wire (conductor) from the supporting structure (pole, tower, or crossarm pin). Its primary job is to prevent electric current from flowing down the pole and into the ground, ensuring it stays within the wire.
