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.

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).
Who uses nuclear electric power?
32 countries in the world are using nuclear electric power.
What is a picture for insulator?
A picture for insulator could be a ceramic or glass electrical insulator used on power lines, or a rubber insulator used on electrical wires to prevent electrical conductivity.
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?
No, an electric line itself is not a power source. The power source is typically a generating station that produces electricity, which is then transmitted through the electric lines to a house or building to provide electricity for various appliances and devices.
Who do you call about down power lines?
Your electric company- SMUD, for example.

Are pylons electric at the bottom?
No, pylons (or transmission towers) are not electric at the bottom. The electricity is carried through the overhead power lines that are attached to the pylons. The pylons are designed to support the power lines and keep them elevated above the ground.

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.
What is the function of the electric lines?
Electric lines are used to transmit electricity from power plants to homes, businesses, and industries. They create a network that distributes electrical power to different locations for lighting, heating, cooling, appliances, and machinery to function.
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 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.
