Help identify device on power lines?
(OP)
Hello everyone,
Can someone tell me what the device is that's highlighted in this picture?
http://w ww.imageho sting.com/ show.php/7 74292_towe r.JPG.html
It LOOKS like a smaller version of the insulators on the pole, but looks like it's wired up to be some sort of suppressor- as one side of it ties TO the metal pole...but they seem to be present only on that lowest wire- and why would IT be the only one with suppression?
I look at these things every time I go for a walk in the local park...and wonder. (I am fascinated by all things power-related.)
Thanks!
Johnny
