why stay insulator is not used with stay wire for 11kv Lines.
Whereas it is used for LT lines ?

Answer Posted / david

The stay insulator 'should' be used for all 'insulating' ie timber poles carrying any cables with more than 100v. This includes 415v, 11KV, 33KV and higher. It is a 2nd level of protection to prevent fallen uninsulated power cables from transmitting energy into the ground, creating dangerous step potentials and touch voltages for wayward humans. The line to earth voltages are typically lower than the 11KV or 33KV, and a smaller stay isolation insulator can be used.

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
