A cable spacer includes first and second angle arms each having a cable engaging end at one end and a flat tab portion at an opposite end having a connecting tab and an aperture to connect the arms to each other. An insulator extends between and connects the angle arms at their respective connecting tabs. The insulator has a non-conductive core. The angle arms and insulator mounted to each other define a spacer plane. A bottom arm is mounted to and depends from insulator. The bottom arm is mounted to the insulator to sway into and out of the spacer plane. A clamp secures the cable spacer to a messenger and includes upper and lower clamp portions. The upper clamp portion mounts to the messenger and the lower clamp portion mounts to cable spacer angle arms. The lower clamp portion is rotatable relative to the upper clamp portion.

An overhead power line insulator is provided including a device for detecting and measuring a leakage current and for transmitting data, the device being arranged in such a manner as to perform: measuring a leakage current of an insulator during a first measurement period and during a second measurement period in a measurement circuit; comparing two values of the current that are obtained during respective ones of the two measurement periods; and stopping the measurement circuit for a certain sleep period of time if the second value of the current is less than or equal to the first value of the current, and then starting the measurement circuit again after the certain sleep period of time.
