What is CICA

Composite insulated cross arm (CICA) is composed of cable insulators, post insulators, metal coupling connection, voltage equalization shielding devices, and suspend fitting strings for conductors.CICA (Composite insulated cross arm) replaces the combination of "traditional iron cross arm + hanging insulated string" in overhead transmission lines, and acts as an insulating support for high-voltage wires. It has more excellent electric insulation performance and mechanical performance than traditional solutions.

    Braced or pivoting V

    A horizontally placed post insulator and suspension line insulator are connected together by a wire-hanging flange conductor fitting and other fittings.

    • Transmission steel pipe poles with less load of 138kV and below.

    • 220kV and above, transmission lines with heavier loads.

    • 220-400kV, the transmission line tower with larger load.

  • 02.

    It is composed of a post insulator, which is connected to the tower body by flanges, wire-hanging flanges conductor fitting and other fittings. Commonly used for distribution network steel poles.

CICA advantages

  • Make line more compact

    Replace suspension insulators, narrow line corridors Reduce wind swing.

  • Reduce the cost of land acquisition

    Reduce tower height and width Reduce land occupation for tower base.

  • Reduce the EMF value

    Reduce span between the conductors The EMF value is the key data of the decision-making agency/regulatory agency.

  • Lightning resistance

    Use the composite cross arms instead of suspension insulators, the insulationlength is increased,and the lightning resistance level is higher.

  • Eliminate all kinds of flashover accidents

    The horizontally arranged composite cross arm replaces the traditional iron cross arm. In addition to the excellent hydrophobicity and hydrophobicity of the silicone rubber sheath material, it can effectively prevent rain flashover, ice flashover, pollution flashover and other problems.

  • Increase voltage capacity

    Cancel the hanging insulator string, raise the height of the wire hanging point, boost the voltage without changing the tower, and increase the transmission voltage.

  • More economical

    With decreased tower height,narrow tower body and smaller land occupation for tower base, the cost of tower material is decreased, so the comprehensive construction cost is accordingly decreased; The external insulation is maintenance-free for ≥30 years, and the whole life cycle cost is greatly reduced.

  • More environmentally friendly

    Reduce land occupation, environmentally friendly,Reduce comprehensive construction materials and energy consumption.

  • More beautiful

    CICA is beautifully designed and easy to integrate into the surrounding environment.
