Abstract
A transmission line assembly and a compact insulator and hardware assembly for a transmission line assembly are provided. In an embodiment, a transmission line assembly includes a first V-string including a first post insulator and a second post insulator; a second V-string including a third post insulator and a fourth post insulator; and a suspension insulator, and a first yoke plate, a second yoke plate, and a third yoke plate are configured to respectively support a first phase conductor, a second phase conductor, and a third phase conductor to have an inverted triangular configuration.
Claims18
A transmission line assembly comprising:
- a first V-string comprising:
- a first post insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to a first cross arm of a circuit tower that extends in a first direction, and a second end coupled to a first yoke plate;
- and
- a second post insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to the first cross arm, and a second end coupled to the first yoke plate;
- a second V-string comprising:
- a third post insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to the first cross arm, and a second end coupled to a second yoke plate;
- and
- a fourth post insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to the first cross arm, and a second end coupled to a second yoke plate;
- and
- a suspension insulator extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, the suspension insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to the first cross arm and a second end coupled to a third yoke plate,
- wherein the first yoke plate, the second yoke plate, and the third yoke plate are configured to respectively support a first phase conductor, a second phase conductor, and a third phase conductor to have an inverted triangular configuration.
A transmission line assembly comprising:
- a first string comprising:
- a first suspension insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to a first pole, and a second end coupled to a first yoke plate;
- a second suspension insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to a second pole, and a second end coupled to a second yoke plate;
- and
- a third suspension insulator including a first end coupled to the first yoke plate, and a second end coupled to the second yoke plate;
- and
- a second string comprising:
- a fourth suspension insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to the first pole, and a second end coupled to a third yoke plate;
- and
- a fifth suspension insulator including a first end configured to be coupled to the second pole, and a second end coupled to the third yoke plate,
- wherein the first yoke plate, the second yoke plate, and the third yoke plate are configured to respectively support a first phase conductor, a second phase conductor, and a third phase conductor to have an inverted triangular configuration.
