Well, you really don't want egg insulators for this application -- that's not what they are designed for. Their intended use is for guy wires, to break them up into non-resonant lengths for towers that will be used to support a transmitting antenna. Furthermore, if the egg insulator should happen to break, the sections of guy wire will still be looped together, still providing mechanical integrity. The insulator you should be talking about is the classic plastic or glass ribbed insulator. |
