They do.

On the 220 kV lines around Auckland they have replaced the hanging insulators on certain pole structures.
Instead of the hanging strings there is a triangular arrangement with resin insulators and increased the clearances from the conductors by several meters.

I will take a photo in my travels and post it in the photo gallery.

This issue is still under investigation but it appears that this container firm has had a line clearance warning before but that didn't cause an incident.


The product of rotation, excitation and flux produces electricty.
