The weightspan is the vertical component. In equlibrium there will be no sideways load. However, as conditions change temp and wind will be some sidways movement and the insulator will swing. Best to do a FEA on big height differences and significant adjacent span sizes.
weightspan is based on...
Hi
you can use my free line design software to calculate and disign lines. the tension is horizontal (mid span zero slope = horizontal tension) vertical component at the attachment point is weight span. http://www.wazazulu.com/lview/lview.htm
have a look at this reference, this references the...
