183. Post InsulatorTotal insulator cantilever load is calculated by assuming vertically mounted insulator with horizontal bus.Furthermore the effective weight of the mass transmitted to one bus support depends on the bus configuration and support conditions.

193. Post Insulator ctd

Where FIS is the load on the insulator, FWI is the wind force on the PI, FSB is the short circuit force transmitted to the PI, FWB is the wind force transmitted to the PI.20
