Our insulators are designed to meet the onerous test requirements of all national, and international test specifications. A comprehensive stock of insulators is maintained to enable OTDS to respond quickly and effectively to customer requirements.
NSU LATORS
DISC INSULATORS
Features; Flexible but positive ball and socket connection provide a quick and easy coupling of insulators. Ball & socket arrangements confirm to IEC, ANSI, BS and other international standards. Ball and socket insulators are provided with R Clip or W Clip to prevent uncoupling of insulators in a string. A fine resilient bitumen coating on the inside cap and surface of the ball pin in contact with cement is applied to absorb stresses developed due to thermal expansion. It also protects metal parts against corrosion from cement. Application of sandgrit on shell helps in uniform
transfer of static and dynamic stresses by providing firm gripping service for the cement which is used as filler between porcelain and metal parts OTDS insulators ensure maximum creepage path due to their distinctive geometrical configuration. Smooth rounded contours of the shell provide protection against chipping Caps are made of malleable cast iron and pins of forged steel. These are galvanised to provide better protection against corrosion. The glaze applied is comprehensive in nature and formulated to provide a smooth surface for self cleaning under contamination Each shell undergoes rigorous hydraulic, high frequency tests before assembly. Each insulator is proof tested at 50% of its EMS rating and thereafter each unit receives a rigorous power-frequency electrical flashover test.
PIN INSULATORS
Features; A steel pin with threaded head is required to mount a pin insulator. To accommodate the pin, a non ferrous metal insert is cemented inside the pin hole. This is called the 'thimble' and is made of lead, zinc or copper. Depending on the mechanical strength requirement is classified as small or large head. The pin height from the cross arm plays an important role. If too low it may influence the flashover and withstand voltage of insulators. This pin height is measured from the top of the cross arm to the top of the pin head. Bird faults can be a major problem with birds sitting on the crossarm. This can be minimised by the use of a pin insulator with extra clearance from the cross arm to avoid bird contact with the conductors. Normally the area around the pin insulator where the conductor is supported is charged and the corona discharge even at working voltages produce radio interference. This scintillating activity produced by virtue of an air gap between the conductor preformed

terminations and the insulator head groove may also cause radio interference noise. Radio noise can be minimised by providing a semiconducting glaze, normally black in colour, on and around top portions of the porcelain surface, including the conductor groove, tie wire groove etc.
Solid core insulators have proved their superiority in polluted conditions and difficult operating locations. Leakage path of solid core insulators is always even. As their width is uniform between consecutive sheds it allows clearing action of the air to minimise dust deposition on the insulator surface.
HARDWARE
OTDS manufactures a huge range of overhead line hardware and fittings for all types of conductor and voltages. All our items are UK manufactured and undergo a strict quality control. process. We hold a large range of stock to meet emergency and urgent requirements.
BARE CONDUCTORS
OTDS will advise the correct conductor to be used with your overhead line. Our engineers will calculate the type and size according to location, required power & support type.OTDS manufacture the following types of overhead line conductor;
ACAR
Applications Aluminium Conductor Alloy Reinforced conductor is used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. A good strength-to-weight ratio makes ACAR applicable where both ampacity and strength are prime considerations in line design. For equal weight ACAR offers higher strength and ampacity than ACSR.
AAAC
Applications AllAlunninium Alloy Conductor is used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution. Designed utilizing a high strength aluminium alloy to achieve a high strengthto-weight ratio; affords better sag characteristics. Aluminium alloy gives AAAC higher resistance to corrosion than ACSR
ACSR
Applications Aluminium Conductor, Steel Reinforced conductor is used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be achieved without sacrificing ampacity.
AAC
Applications Classes 1 AA and A are used primarily for overhead transmission and primary and secondary distribution, where ampacity must be maintained and a lighter conductor (compared to ACSR) is desired, when conductor strength is not a critical factor. Classes B and C are used primarily as bus, apparatus connectors and jumpers, where additional flexibility is required.
Listed above are the main conductors used, however, we are able to manufacture many other type including ACSR/AW/ TW, ACSS in all standard UK, US & European sizes.

INTRODUCTION:
After almost 10 years of Civil War, much of the capital of Monrovia had its electrical network destroyed. The Electricity company Of Liberia, released tenders in early 2010 in conjunction with the Government of Norway to enhance the energy sector in Liberia and specifically focusing on the remaining gaps in the electrical distribution network in and around the capital city of Monrovia. OTDS was awarded the contract after winning the opening bidding process, which was overseen by the Government of Norway Delegation in Monrovia. The materials were for the delivery to the LEC. The contract covered the supply of all materials required for the complete rehabilitation of the Monrovian Capital.
Items supplied included; LV METERS LV INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES ABC FITTINGS STREET LIGHT FIXTURES DISCONNECT SWITCHES 24kV AIR BREAK SWITCHES COMPOSITE & PORCELAIN INSUALTORS SURGE ARRESTORS OHL CLAMPS & FITTINGS CROSSARMS STEEL WORK TERMINATION KITS TOOLS & DEVICES MAC BARE CONDUCTOR, 110 KM PVC INSULATED ALUMINIUM STRANDED CONDUCTORS, 310 KM
Since 2007, we have supplied in addition, over $3m of wooden poles, transformers & overhead line accessories to the LEC and continue to be one of their regular suppliers.
RESULTS
Firstly OTDS were able to finance the whole project ourselves, thereby removing the requirement for any advance payments and achieving the best possible delivery of materials. OTDS was able to oversee the entire supply process; from the sourcing and ordering of products, through to the consolidation and inspection of products at our warehouses. When our customer asked if we could help them source containers to store all the materials, we were quickly able to supply over 50 * 40' containers for safe storage in Monrovia during installation. OTDS provided additional engineering expertise throughout the whole project. Although we had a list of materials to work from, we found a number of flaws in the design and specifications of materials that were requested by the end user. Using our knowledge, we were able to point out these discrepancies and arrange a different solution, which would work as a package once arriving on site! OTDS is a tried and tested engineering company & manufacturer that will ensure that all the materials supplied are of the highest quality, delivered on time & work first time.
