    V String Insulators

    Thanks MikeDB for the answer. my consideration is also the same, i.e. V-strings to always have tension. we are adjusting the weight spans to account for this. however, i am not sure if this actually holds true for all loading conditions (wind, ice, etc). I don't understand about the TV...

    V String Insulators

    Hi On a current project we are proposing V-string insulators for 500kV suspensions and angle suspension structures. my question is will V-string insulators always take tension in all loading conditions avoiding compression completely? If there is compression in one of the two V-string...
