The base fitting for a horizontal insulator refers to the component that is used to securely mount and support the insulator on a structure, such as a pole or a cross-arm. It is designed to provide stability and structural integrity to the insulator, ensuring that it can withstand the mechanical loads and environmental conditions it may encounter.
The base fitting is designed to provide a strong and reliable connection between the insulator and the supporting structure, while also allowing for adjustments and alignment. It may have features such as bolt holes or adjustable arms to facilitate installation and positioning.
The base fitting for a horizontal insulator is often coated or galvanized to protect it from corrosion and ensure long-term durability, especially when exposed to harsh outdoor environments.
