3 Star Inc 17A01 Ceramic Strain Insulator for up to 3/16" EHS Down Guy
The 17A01 is a Ceramic Strain Insulator for up to 3/16" inch strand. It has 5/16" holes for Clevis and Preformed Dead-end Termination Down Guy Segments with a 2-5/16" length and a diameter of 1-3/8". 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. This Model has no Rated Ultimate Strength or Working Load Limit because in Practice; these insulators are typically used with thin hard-drawn copper segments as an appurtenance to existing guy lines and structures rather than a primary structural component.
