Hydraulic Pressure Test

Excellent Long-Term Performance

Long-Term Performance Evaluation

Thermal-Mechanical (T&M) performance test as per IEC -1 or ANSI C29.2 is to evaluate long-term reliability of insulators.
As these standards specify minimum requirements only, all NGK insulators have been confirmed to pass modified T&M test.

Test Method IEC Pub. -1 NGK Method Load 60-65% of Specified
E&M failing load
(24-hour cycle) 60-65% of Specified
E&M failing load
(1-hour cycle) Temperature -30°C to +40°C
(24-hour cycle) -40°C to +60°C
(8-hour cycle) Duration 4days 15days

Acceptance Criteria for T&M Test

To exclude poor quality insulators, M&E test results before and after T&M test are:

(R: mean value, s: standard deviation)

Zinc Sleeve

Contaminated and wet insulators display a biased leakage current having DC component. This DC component causes electrolytic corrosion and reduction of pin diameter.

Pin Corrosion of suspension (disc) insulator

NGK developed Zinc Sleeve to prevent pin corrosion.

A Look Back at CIGRE : La Granja Insulators’ Experience

It’s been officially two weeks since La Granja Insulators participated in the CIGRE Session in Paris, representing our ongoing commitment to excellence in the electrical industry.

Held from August 25th to 30th at the Palais des Congrès, this event gathered over 9,000 power systems professionals from 120 countries.

It was an extraordinary opportunity for us to showcase our latest innovations in high-voltage glass insulation technology!

The event featured a technical exhibition with over 300 companies, offering a unique platform to demonstrate our products and solutions to a diverse audience of industry leaders, engineers, and decision-makers. Our booth attracted significant interest, where we shared insights, and discussed future trends in the power systems sector.

The event provided a clear glimpse into the current state and future evolution of the electrical industry, revealing a rapidly growing market with extraordinary potential, highlighting projections of incredible growth through , with expectations to double or even triple market demand.

 We extend our gratitude to everyone who visited our booth and to the organizers of CIGRE for creating such a successful event. It was an exceptional moment for the power line sector, and with record attendance and high levels of engagement, the coming years promise to be even more exciting.

Middle East Energy continues to connect the global energy community, allowing you to network with La Granja Insulators and discover products and solutions that are changing the energy landscape.

Energy has to be transported over long distances and integrated into existing transmission networks. Conventional power grids have to now integrate and take into consideration the excess power generated locally to ensure that the grid can safely absorb the distributed energy resources. This is why a stable, reliable, and in today’s world, intelligent transmission and distribution system is needed.

Digitalization can reduce energy usage by around 15% by utilizing real-time data to enhance operational efficiency, as demonstrated by smart structures. Energy suppliers are the largest industry that has the most to gain from the adoption of smart technologies. In addition to lowering production costs, the adoption of smart technologies—such as data analytics and smart sensors—also helps to prevent equipment breakdowns, enhancing worker’s health and safety.

At Middle East Energy, find out how the use of smart insulators offered by La Granja Insulators is a key enabler in the transition to a low-carbon energy system. We look forward to this event and welcome all our partners and customers to visit our booth: H2.E19.

Why La Granja’s name? La Granja, a location with a high responsibility

LaGranja Insulators was given its name because of the emblematic place where our factory is located: The town of La Granja de San Ildefonso, in Segovia, Spain.

Not only has it played a key role in the history of glass manufacturing, but it is also located in a unique protected environment.

The Real Sitio de San Ildelfonso is one of Unesco´s 701  Biosphere Reserves around the world. These protected areas must fulfil a commitment to the preservation and protection of species, ecosystems and landscapes; in addition to developing and promoting sustainable, economic and human progress. Besides, it is required to support research, education and permanent observation activities related to preservation and sustainable development.

This is a major challenge when it comes to integrating industrial activity and our commitments to the planet; but far from finding it a problem, we are proud to demonstrate that an environmentally responsible industrial activity is possible, and that nature and industry can coexist in harmony.
