Hi,
It is a typical practice to add additional bells on deadend or heavy angle structures. I thought this was just a mechanical requirement, i.e. it is much more difficult to replace a broken bell on a deadend or heavy angle insulator string due to conductor tension, so you can afford a broken bell or two without compromising the insulation.
I want to use synthetic insulators instead of porcelain bells. In this case, is anybody aware of a requirement for increased electrical insulation? We have a debate going on, and I believe if you are usign long rod syn. insulators on deadends or heavy angles, you do not need additional electrical insulation.
Can anybody comment?
