Where is a pin-type insulator used?

Pin insulators commonly work in overhead transmission and distribution lines for medium to voltage lines. A pin insulator is a type of insulator used to support and insulate conductors from the support structures. Each type has specific characteristics depending on the specific requirements of the application. There are several types of pin insulators designed for specific applications and operating conditions.

{Electric current flows through the conductor held in the insulator’s top groove. A typical pin insulator has a head groove to hold the conductor, ribs to increase the creepage distance, and a metallic base fitting to screw onto the support pin. It prevents the undesired flow of currents to the ground and mounts directly on a pole using a metal pin. A pin insulator is a type of electrical insulator used in overhead power line construction to support and separate conductors. They can be directly fixed to the pole with a bolt or to the cross arm.}
