How do I know which standoff insulator is right for my application?

The electrical and mechanical performance ratings of the insulators are meant to serve as a guide for their application. Each application may require conformance to an industry standard or other specification, which may require different requirements. The insulator will continuously withstand it’s rated voltage, but specific environmental conditions such as ambient humidity and dirt could require the de-rating of the insulator. If you still have questions, you can call 800-438-3003 or email answers@jenkins.com.

What are standoff insulators made of?

The Standoff Insulators are molded from a UL recognized polymeric composite material made of a mix­ture of unsaturated polymer resin, cross-linked cata­lyst, shrink control polyester, fire retardant agent, color pigments, and glass strands.

What are The Gund Company standoff insulators used for?

Standoff Insulators from The Gund Company are ideal for use in supporting bus bars or other live electrical components.

Are standoff insulators designed for use in indoor or outdoor applications?

Standoff insulators manufactured by The Gund Company are designed for use in indoor applications. Insulators mounted within a suitable electrical cabinet are considered indoors, although the cabinet itself may be outdoors.

What are the performance ratings of the insulators meant to serve as a guide for?

The mechanical and electrical performance ratings of the insulators are meant to serve as a guide for their application. Each application may require conformance to an industry standard or other specification, which may involve different requirements. The insulator will continuously withstand its rated voltage, but specific environmental conditions such as ambient humidity and dirt could require the de-rating of the insulator.
