Pin Insulator is earliest developed overhead insulator, but still popularly used in power network up to 33 KV system. Pin type insulator can be one part, two parts or three parts type, depending upon application voltage. In 11 KV system ,we generally use one part type insulator where whole pin insulator is one piece of properly shaped porcelain or glass.
