A false dead end is a support structure in which conductors anchor but continue on to the next support without finishing. It provides the illusion that the line does not extend beyond that point. This is to dissuade animals and humans from climbing. False dead ends give mechanical support to control the tension and weight of […]

A corona ring is a device used to control the occurrence of corona discharge in electrical systems. Corona discharge occurs when there is a high voltage gradient present. This is especially around the conductors which results into the ionization of the surrounding air. This creates a visible glow or aura and audible noise. Corona discharge
