Porcelain Insulator 55 Series Questions
Can you match an insulator from a photograph
Usually, if the marking and the key dimensions are visible. Send photographs with measurements.
How many spares should I order
Enough that a single failure does not become a crew visit with nothing to fit. The right percentage depends on how far the position is from your store.
Do you supply mixed series quantities
Yes - a pole schedule spanning several series is quoted as one list.
