3 Star Inc 17C01 Ceramic Strain Insulator with 12,000 lb. Rating for 5/16" EHS Down Guy
The 17C01 is a Ceramic Strain Insulator rated at 12,000 lbs. Ultimate Strength with a 6,000 lbs. Working Load Limit (WLL) for up to 5/16" inch strand. It has 3/4" holes for Clevis and Preformed Dead-end Termination Down Guy Segments with a 4-1/2" length and a diameter of 2-7/8". Guy Line Insulators are used to isolate RF (Radio Frequency) Electrical Conductivity and Passive Re-Transmission or Intermodulation by dividing guy wires into non-resonant sections. This prevents the guy lines from altering an Antenna's Radiation Pattern due to near-field interaction and for Ghosting Resonate Towers to Prevent Shadow Zones of other Transmitter Facilities Broadcast Coverage Area. A compression-type design is used and the insulator is compressed within the wire loops, so that if the insulator should break, the guy wires are still attached.
