High Voltage Pylon Insulator
The picture on the right shows a 132kV pylon insulator. This example is constructed with 9 individual glass insulators. These link together in a chain to form the complete insulator with the correct insulator properties for the applied voltage.
The picture below shows one segment from a larger insulator. Once coupled together a pin locks the insulator dishes in place. The slot for the pin is just visible in the lower picture.
