Transmission Line Insulators: Pin Post Spool/Shakle Suspension

This document discusses different types of transmission line insulators used in power systems. Pin insulators are commonly used for 11kV and 33kV transmission lines and consist of 2 pieces. Post insulators support busbars in substations and circuit breakers and capacitor banks in switchyards. Spool or shackle insulators support low voltage lines on high voltage composite poles. Suspension insulators connect discs and are used for 11kV and 132kV lines, while suspension insulators can rotate to create strain insulators which reduce tension on lines around corners and sharp edges.
