Heavy Duty Two-Pole Strain Carrier, 12 ft (3.6 m)

Two-pole Strain Carriers relieve strain from an insulator string to permit removal from energized lines. Normally used on a single string of insulators, these carriers sometimes are used for multiple strings where conductor-end hardware permits attachment. Yokes are fabricated from high-strength aluminum plate and include a steel chain assembly for anchoring the back plate to the structure. Conductor-end yoke includes a hook and three machined sockets (C401-1860, -1892, -1894). Two-pole Strain Carriers relieve strain from an insulator string to permit removal from energized lines.
