A support system for supporting power distribution or transmission lines includes a support pole having a first end and a second and a crossarm attached to the support pole, proximate the first end of the support pole. The crossarm has a first end, a second end and one or more side walls extending between the first and second ends of the crossarm. The side walls of the crossarm define an elongated interior space. The support system further includes an internal conduit formed in the interior space of the crossarm. The internal conduit extends along an axial direction of the crossarm. The internal conduit is made from insulative material.

A shed housing is disclosed. The shed housing covers an insulator including at least one shed. The shed housing includes a receiving cavity allowing an upper surface and a lower surface of the shed to be received in the receiving cavity. The shed housing is provided with a mounting hole through which the insulator passes, and an opening corresponding to the mounting hole. The opening communicates the mounting hole with an outer edge of the shed housing. The mounting hole communicates with the receiving cavity. A first connecting portion and a second connecting portion cooperating with the first connecting portion are arranged respectively on both ends of the opening. When the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion, the shed housing is closed along a circumferential direction. The shed housing is able to receive the entire piece of shed, and can be assembled on the shed without any additional connecting components, which is convenient and high-efficient and has good effect on preventing pollution flashover and rain flashover.

For protecting wildlife from high voltage conductors proximate to a utility pole, dielectric covers are used to cover fuse cutouts, bushings, or other connections to insulators. Such covers include a vertical slot for receiving an energized wire so the cover can be installed using a hot-stick while the wire is energized. To eliminate leakage currents flowing across the cover under high voltage conditions, which previously led to localized melting of the cover, inner walls of the cover are molded that are laterally separated from the outer walls of the cover. The double wall design eliminates leakage currents due to the extra dielectric wall and air gap, and the inner wall is not subject to contamination from conductive pollutants. The double wall design also increases the insulating properties of the cover.

An insulator system includes an insulator assembly including: a first insulator; a second insulator; a first end fitting at a first end portion of the first insulator; a second end fitting at a second end portion of the first insulator; a third end fitting at a first end portion of the second insulator and operatively coupled to the second end fitting; a fourth end fitting at a second end portion of the second insulator; a first cement layer between the first insulator and the first end fitting; a second cement layer between the first insulator and the second end fitting; a third cement layer between the second insulator and the third end fitting; and a fourth cement layer between the second insulator and the fourth end fitting. An electrically insulating layer is on the first cement layer and extends between the first insulator and the first end fitting.

A surge arrester and a method for manufacturing the surge arrester are disclosed. The surge arrester includes a preassembled active part extending in a longitudinal direction, and a separately produced flexible housing defining a bore in the longitudinal direction and having an opening at an end surface of the flexible housing. The flexible housing is arranged surrounding the active part via the bore and in contact with the active part. The contact causes a deformation of the flexible housing in a circumferential direction, and the deformation generates a pressure applied on the active part along a radial direction.
