Abstract
A bracket for supporting electrical components that accommodate the transmission of three-phase electrical energy. The bracket includes a crossarm, generally of linear design, and formed of electrically conductive tubular material for allowing its supplemental use as a bus bar for grounding of the various electrical components mounted thereon. A series of angle members having flanges that are arranged either horizontally or vertically disposed with respect to a surface of the crossarm, form mounting surfaces upon which either terminations, cutouts, or arrestors, or any combination of such, may be mounted all upon one level with respect to a utility pole. The supports that mount the crossarm to the utility pole are preferably electrically insulative, so as to enhance the protection of a lineman working in proximity to the crossarm. To further enhance the mounting of cutouts with respect to the crossarm, a modification in the invention disposes a plate upon the upper surface of the crossarm, the plate normally being bilaterally symmetrical, and includes electrical power.
