Suspension insulators are glass 'dish' insulators that are designed to take longitudinal strain -i.e. strain in the direction of the conductors. They are so-called, because they are suspended below the pole's crossarm. Suspension insulators, therefore, are used on terminal poles where the main strain on the crossarm is in the direction of the conductors, or on angle-poles where there is a sharp change in direction of the power line.

How can iget in touch with txu electric about trees in the power lines?
Need the phone number for lopping my trees in the power lined
How tall are the power lines in Ontario?
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name
What must happen to the electric current in power lines before it can safely enter your home?
step-down transformer
Is China a insulator?
China is, or used to be (the current material may be some made made material) china on power lines. The separators were made of china to insulate them.
When do special precautions need to be taken when working near overhead electric power lines?
Usually you would want to stay at least 10 feet away from power lines. Any conductive material you are working with also has to be at least 10 feet away (metal extension ladder).
What are the Types of insulators used in power lines?
One type of insulator is ceramic, these were used in the older power lines and the newer styles are glass
Is an electric lines to a house a power source?
Yes, it is a power source, because it carries energy from the main lines directley into a house.
Who do you call about down power lines?
Your electric company- SMUD, for example.
Is porcelain a conductors?
In general, porcelain is not a conductor. It is considered an insulator. It is possible to make ceramics that will conduct, but the porcelain we normally find is a good insulator.

Is air insulator or a conductor?
Air is generally thought of as an insulator. As long as air is dry, it will not support electric current flow unless voltage is very high. We see high voltages in power lines with air between them, and they don't generally arc, even if it's raining. Air atoms and molecules don't have free electrons to support current flow. That makes air a pretty good insulator.
What is the phone number for Tucson Electric Power?
The customer care number for Tucson Electric Power in Arizona is 520-623-7711; the number to call Tucson Electric Power for emergancies such as downed power lines is 520-623-3251.

Are fallen electric lines an extreme danger after a tornado?
Yes. Even fairly weak tornadoes can bring down power lines. These power lines create a risk of electrocution in the tornado's aftermath.
Can an electric contractor attach to a power pole?
The power lines are the responsibility of the city or county you live in and are not things that a contractor will accept jobs to work on. If your lines are obstructed, call the county electric officials and they will come out and help, it's their responsibility.
Is a SCARF a insulator or a conductor?
insulators are things that surround an electrical wire, this stops the power coming out an electricuting you. insulators are: ruber, wood and plastic but i think they are the only ones, wool definitely isn't an insulator because it isn't strong and thick enough to stop the electric coming out, so no a scarf is not an insulator!... xxx
Can optical fibers be used to give electric power lines at homes?
No, not with current technology.
