The insulator has to have the insulation factor of the primary line that is connected to it. It has to have a design that will not allow moisture to pool around it. The design also should include a shape that will make it self cleaning.

What is the purpose of insulator in overhead transmission line?

Overhead lines are uninsulated, as they depend upon the air to provide insulation. However, they must still be insulated from the towers or poles from which they are suspended. This insulation is provided using glass or ceramic insulators. The greater the line voltage, the longer the ceramic insulator, or the greater the number of glass insulator 'dishes'.
