Abstract

See full text

A line condition sensing device, e.g. a current transformer and/or a voltage transformer, is embedded in a pole mounted, power line supporting insulator to form an integral unit therewith. One end of the insulator carries a pole mounting base. The other end of the insulator carries a power line receiving clamp. The line condition sensing device is connected in parallel with a hot power line by taps to permit conditions to be monitored without cutting or dead ending the line. The device is installed on a hot line by opening the power line receiving clamp of the original insulator, holding the power line in spaced relationship from the original insulator while replacing it with the new insulator, resecuring the power line on the clamp of the new insulator, and then connecting the taps to the hot power line.
