Factors Controlling the Design and Selection of Suspension Insulators

A discussion of the factors entering into the design and operating behavior of suspension insulators and the problems to be solved in designing a suspension insulator to overcome the objectionable features shown by experience to affect seriously the operation of the insulators in service. Factors to be taken into consideration in the selection of suspension insulators for a given condition are given and a brief discussion of the general trend of future improvements is presented.
