Where should the attachment of the conductor to the insulator be located when using armor rods?

The attachment of the conductor to the insulator should be located in the middle of the armor rod for several important reasons related to the structural integrity and performance of the assembly. Positioning the attachment in the middle ensures that the stresses and strains experienced by the conductor during operations, such as wind or sags due to weight, are evenly distributed across the armor rod. This location provides better support for the conductor and reduces the risk of damaging the insulation or causing failure at the attachment point.

By placing the attachment in the middle, the design takes advantage of the strength of the armor rod material, enabling it to better absorb and diffuse the mechanical forces acting on the conductor. This enhances the overall reliability and longevity of the component in service.
