Insulator strings of power lines

The insulators mechanically terminate the cables, the jumpers complete the circuit around the tower to convey the electrical power.

Since the wire between towers needs to be replaceable and repairable, the splice connection at every tower makes for a convenient, deliberate splice point.

really thank you so much Mr. Sensacell

They use two insulators when the wires come from different directions so that the strain can be more easily handled. If you notice in the picture, the two wires are at an angle to each other, not in a straight line.
