Shackle Insulator ED-2
Compact shackle: 80 mm diameter, 10 kN transverse strength, 18 kV dry flashover.
The economical shackle for ordinary positions at 10 kN transverse strength, sitting under the ED-1 in the same family so a network can run two sizes and put each where it belongs.

Who this is for
Specified by
- Municipal low voltage networks with short spans and light loads
- Service connections to individual premises
- Street lighting circuits
- Stores carrying a high-turnover, low-cost shackle insulator
The problem it is built around
Buying one shackle size for a whole network means paying for strength that most positions never use, or under-building the few that do. Either way, a part bought by the ten thousand is the wrong place to guess.
What you get instead
The economical shackle for ordinary positions at 10 kN transverse strength, sitting under the ED-1 in the same family so a network can run two sizes and put each where it belongs.
Why ours
Same body process, same test regime and same packing standard as every other unit we make, including the 70 kN transmission discs.
Use guide
Before it goes on the line
- Reserve the ED-2 for light service and lighting positions, and use the ED-1 where the pull is higher.
- Inspect the groove and the mounting hole before issue.
- Do not drop or drag the units in handling. Hidden internal cracks from rough handling are not visible to the naked eye.
- Store units of one type together and labelled.
Comparison
How it differs from the alternative
The ED-1 is the larger shackle at 100 mm, 12 kN and 22 kV dry flashover. Both are shackle types; the EX spools are a different mounting.

Shackle Insulator ED-2: buyer questions
What is the transverse strength?
10 kN, the lightest unit in this range.
What are the published flashover voltages?
18 kV low-frequency dry flashover and 9 kV low-frequency wet flashover.
Can it be mixed with EX spool insulators on one rack?
They are different types with different mountings. Confirm the rack arrangement before mixing; we will quote both on one order and pack them separately.
How are small parts packed for export?
In labelled cartons on export pallets with shockproof and moisture-proof packing, ready for door-to-door delivery.
