Porcelain Pin-type Insulators from
outside the United States
|
Porcelain pintype insulators have been used worldwide since the development
if the telegraph. Many countries including the United Kingdom and Japan
use almost exclusively porcelain insulators. White and brown glazes are by
far the most common, but as can be seen below, there is a great variety of color
available. These insulators are identified by U-numbers, but in the range
of 1000-3999. The link below is for the reference book that covers these
insulators.
Worldwide
Porcelain Insulators (Unipart Pin Types)
The convention used on this site is to list insulators both in
the country they were found and in the country they were manufactured if known
unless they were particularly widely used in which the country of manufacture
will suffice. Many companies made insulators specifically for export to a
particular country and that may be the only place they were used.
