Gain base for power distribution systems

Abstract

An apparatus for affixing an insulator to a structure in a power distribution system is disclosed herein. The apparatus may comprise a gain base that enables attachment of an insulator to a utility pole or other structure at multiple angles. In various embodiments, the apparatus may include at least a fixed component configured to be affixed to a structure and a pivoting component configured to rotate with respect to the fixed component to adjust the orientation of the hole via which an insulator is attached to the apparatus. The pivoting component may be configured to receive a threaded insulator pin or other connection device configured to clamp or otherwise affix an insulator to the apparatus.
