The crossarm and the insulator are two of the most important components on a utility pole, working together to ensure safe and reliable power delivery.

• Crossarm: This is a horizontal beam mounted on the utility pole. Its main purpose is to physically support the conductors and maintain the required phase-to-phase clearance between them. This critical distance prevents short circuits and ensures the stable operation of the line.

• Insulator: The insulator is the part that attaches the conductor to the crossarm. Its primary function is to provide an electrical barrier, preventing the high-voltage electricity in the conductor from flowing into the earthed pole. Without insulators, the electricity would travel down the pole to the ground, causing a short circuit.

Our OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing equipment and overhead tools are essential for safely installing conductors onto insulators and crossarms. We provide a full range of clamps, hoists, and other accessories to make this process efficient and secure.
