Electricity is like water.
Ceramic things on power poles. What s on an electric power pole. It s a distribution transformer aka pole pig. Cutouts act like a fuse and open when there is a problem with the line or a section of it. Insulators prevent energized wires from coming in contact with each other or the utility pole.
Metal and concrete poles can last much longer but eventually all utility poles need to be replaced. From the length of the insulators probably towards the higher end of that spectrum. You definitely don t want the power lines connecting to the poles. I could not find any information regarding this particular shape though.
6 insulators protect electricity from draining into utility poles. I ve seen these stacked disc structures on high voltage power lines everywhere. The distribution lines that run down your street are probably 5 15kv. Those are the insulators.
Insulators are those glass or porcelain things you see on the tops and crossarms of telephone poles. It lowers the voltage from the higher voltage in the supply lines to the power used in your house. Primary wires are on top of the pole and usually carry 12 000 volts of electricity from a substation. Ever notice that power lines don t actually touch the poles.
It leaks if you don t seal it.
