Abstract
An auxiliary support system for use with a line-post insulator of an electric power transmission system includes a tension member of electrically insulating material coupled between a tower and the junction of a conductor support with the outboard terminus of the line-post insulator. A clamp formed of two juxtaposed jaws bends downwards to clear the conductor and support, and then bends inwardly to grip the terminus and secure it to the tension member. Attachment of the auxiliary support can be accomplished without disruption of the electric power.
