My wife thinks I'm nuts, but I took a liking to these high Voltage porcelain insulators.
They were by the side of the road for several months after crews upgraded the power poles near the office.
One day I picked them up and cleaned the mud off them.
Made by NGK Loocke. Tracking down the part number/spec sheet on the internet indicates they are good for 65KV wet or 130KV dry.
There should have been three but I only found 2.
These are BIG. The threaded studs on the bottom take 3/4" nuts. Lowes and Home depot don't carry anything bigger than 3/4"! They weigh about 15 pounds (7 kilos) apiece.
Could not find insulators anywhere near this big on eBay.
I just thought they looked cool. Made the bases out of walnut.
