Insulator/Bracket ENSTO SO86 for Through and Corner Mounting 12–24 kV

ENSTO SO86 is an insulator/bracket engineered for through and corner mounting on medium-voltage overhead distribution lines operating at 12–24 kV. Designed for outdoor installation on poles and support structures, the SO86 provides mechanical support for conductors while maintaining electrical insulation at line crossings and route deflection points. The product combines a robust support bracket geometry with insulating materials suitable for exposed distribution network environments.

Advantages

The design of the SO86 simplifies installation at corner points and through-mount locations by integrating support and insulation in a single unit. Its construction delivers reliable dielectric separation between the conductor and supporting structure while withstanding mechanical loads from conductor tension and wind. The bracket-form factor reduces the need for separate fittings and minimizes installation time. Materials and surface treatment are selected for outdoor durability and resistance to environmental stressors common in distribution networks.

Suitable for

• Medium-voltage overhead lines with operating voltages in the 12–24 kV range
• Through mounting where conductors pass a pole or structure
• Corner mounting and angle points requiring insulated support
• Outdoor pole- or structure-mounted distribution network installations

Key specifications

• Application voltage range: 12–24 kV
• Mounting type: through and corner mounting for poles or structures
• Function: combined mechanical support and electrical insulation for conductors
• Intended environment: outdoor distribution networks, exposed to weather
• Mechanical capability: designed to carry conductor tension and withstand wind loads typical for distribution fittings

How to use

Install the insulator/bracket on a suitable pole or supporting structure at the designated through or corner position following local electrical safety standards and mounting practices. Secure the bracket to the pole using compatible fasteners and ensure the conductor is seated correctly in the insulator interface to maintain proper clearance and dielectric separation. Verify mechanical anchoring and electrical clearances after installation and perform routine inspections as part of network maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the SO86 in applications consistent with its voltage rating and mounting type. Select compatible fasteners and mounting hardware rated for outdoor use and load conditions. Perform periodic inspections for mechanical integrity, signs of surface degradation, contamination, or damage, and clean or replace components as required to maintain safe electrical insulation and mechanical support.
