An apparatus for evaluating an electrical insulator includes: a frame having a base and a pair of spaced-apart resilient arms each having a distal end; and a flexible probe disposed between the arms, the flexible probe being generally U-shaped and having a pair of distal ends, each distal end of the probe being connected to a respective distal end of one of the arms.

The present disclosure provides a fitting for a power transmission system. The fitting may include a first end configured to couple to an end of an insulator, a second end configured to couple to a power line, a collar located between the first end and the second end, and a neck located between the collar and the first end. An outer diameter of the collar may be greater than an outer diameter of the neck. A power transmission system with a fitting and corona ring assembly is also provided.
