Guy Insulator – Dependable Insulation for Overhead Power Lines
The guy insulator is a vital device used in overhead power and communication lines to create insulation from energized components to the utility guy. Guy insulators are necessary to prevent electrical faults from occurring and to secure the stability of pole-mounted hardware.
Several characteristics of guy include:
–high mechanical strength
–excellent electrical insulation
–resistance to weather, ultraviolet, and corrosion
–available in porcelain.
Where are guy used?
–in electrical utility poles
–on overhead power transmission lines
–across telecom lines and communication towers
–in railway electrification systems
What are the benefits of using guy?
–increased electrical safety
–reduced risk of grounding or short–circuiting
–holds tension on guy wire
–composes hardware that meet electrical standards.
