Porcelain insulators are insulators made of electrical ceramics as insulation components. Electrical ceramics are baked from quartz, feldspar, and clay as raw materials. The surface of porcelain insulators is usually covered with porcelain glaze to improve their mechanical strength, prevent water infiltration, and increase surface smoothness.
