Overhead Fault Indicator - Install on Tree Wire

Overhead Fault Indicator - Install on Tree Wire

Overhead Fault Indicator - Install on Tree Wire

(OP)
I am looking for any utility experience with installing overhead fault indicators on overhead primary tree wire.  Overhead primary system is 4.36 kV, 4-wire and to date overhead fault indicators have only been installed on bare aluminum conductors.  

Tree wire is single layer w/ polyethylene insulation (no strand shield).  Vendor information indicates overhead fault indicators can be installed on unshielded / insulated (i.e. tree wire) applications.
