Suspension vs cap and pin
I didn't even know Lapp made cap and pin /suspension insulators. The article is describing cap and pin, a particular type of suspension insulator. Polymer insulators are suspension insulators, but not cap and pin construction. --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- Nope. 'Polymer insulator', or more commonly polymeric insulators, refers to the material whilst 'suspension insulators' refers the type or function. For example there are polymeric insulators that are not suspension insulators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.176.163.90 (talk) 23:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
upper or lower?
>There is a groove on the upper end of the insulator. The conductor passes through this groove and is tied to the insulator with annealed wire of the same material as the conductor.< If I am reading this correctly it should read "lower" rather than "upper", at least if the reference is to physical position rather than potential (as it appears to be). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.161.88.87 (talk) 01:50, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
