D-iron and shackle

Our D-iron and shackle set is designed for reliable performance in low- to medium-voltage electrical distribution systems. Both components are hot-dip galvanized for superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life in harsh outdoor environments. The D-iron, also known as a D-bracket, is a sturdy, D-shaped support that is bolted directly to the utility pole. The shackle is a separate, clevis-style fitting that attaches to the D-iron, providing a secure point for mounting a porcelain or polymer shackle insulator.
Key Features
* Robust Construction: Both the D-iron and shackle are made from high-strength steel, engineered to withstand the mechanical stress and load of supporting conductors.
* Corrosion Protection: A thick layer of hot-dip galvanization protects the steel from rust and weathering, making it suitable for all climates.
* Secure Mounting: The D-iron provides a rigid, stable attachment to the pole, while the shackle offers a flexible connection point for the insulator, allowing it to move slightly with the wire.
* Versatile Application: This set is ideal for securing shackle insulators at the end of a power line, at a sharp turn, or on service-drop poles, where conductors need to be supported under tension.
How It Works
In an electrical distribution setup, the D-iron is bolted to the utility pole. The shackle insulator, which is a key part of the system for insulating conductors from the pole, is then attached to the shackle. This combination ensures that the electrical conductors are securely held in place and are properly isolated, preventing any electrical current from leaking into the pole structure. This setup is crucial for maintaining the safety and integrity of the electrical grid.
