3FL silicone long rod insulators –
performance meets durability
Good reasons to use 3FL
The new Siemens silicone long rod in­
sulators (type 3FL) combine the highest
levels of electrical insulation and mechani-
cal tensile strength with a compact, light-
weight design. Thanks to their superior de-
sign and minimized weight, 3FL long rod
insulators are especially suited for over-
head compact-line applications where low
tower design and short line spans are re-
quired. They are also more economical to
transport and install.
Design
The 3FL insulator has a one-piece HTV1
silicone rubber housing made by a high-
pressure injection molding process. The
HTV silicone is directly molded onto the
core rod by overlapping the triple junction
point and part of the metal end fittings.
The design ensures a total enclosure of the
most sensitive part of a silicone insulator –
the junction zone (metal end fitting/FRP
rod/silicone housing), where the highest
electrical field strength is usually concen-
trated. This overlapping system eliminates
any possibility of moisture ingress.

No moisture ingress
The one-piece housing of the 3FL insula-
tors, i.e. weathersheds and core rod sheath
(coating) is one-piece, and has only one in-
ternal interface throughout the whole in-
sulator, namely the boundary interface be-
tween the housing and the FRP core rod.
This design eliminates all internal inter­
faces between weathersheds and the core
rod coating. These kinds of longitudinal
interfaces are normally very sensitive to
tangential electrical field stress, which in
worst case scenarios can easily lead to ero-
sion damage of the polymer interfaces. In
particular leading to erosion of the bond-
ing between sheds and rod sheath, and
thus damage to the insulator housing.
Furthermore, the junction point in the con-
nection zone, where all three elements
(FRP rod, metal end fitting, and silicone
housing) meet each other, is absolutely
water- and air-tight sealed during manu-
facturing by using an overmolding hous-
ing system. It totally encloses this junction
point with the HTV silicone rubber of
the housing itself. The highest bonding
strength of the one-piece HTV silicone
housing to the FRP core rod combined with
the overmolding design system prevent
moisture ingress at the connection zone
of the insulator.

Marking and nameplate of 3FL insulators

A nameplate is installed on each 3FL insulator when it successfully
passes the mechanical routine test. It is a weather- and UV-proof
stainless steel band with locking system, placed on the ground
end fitting of the insulator. The etched marking includes: catalog
number, SML, RTL, CIF, creepage distance, end fittings designa-
tion, and production date code.

Packaging
3FL insulators are packaged in wooden crates with the following
dimensions: width is 44 inches (1,120 mm), height is equal to
or lower than 37.16 inches (944 mm), the length is determined
by the insulator length. The maximum weight of one crate is
2,000 pounds (900 kg).
