3. Glass fibers used in electrical insulation
3.1 Main applications
Glass fibers are mainly used for the mechanical reinforcement of epoxy, polyester or vinyl-ester resin insulators. These can be used to form the mechanical core of overhead line insulators, or to form hollow bodies such as those found in circuit-breaker chambers, SF 6 ...
