Hi
Please have a look here. I understand that ground conductor (in yellow highlight) is there to protect phase conductors from direct lightning strike. But I have noticed that sometimes brown/red spherical ball-type structures are also mounted on that ground conductors at fixed intervals over a certain length. Previously, I had thought that they use these ball-like structures where an airport is located nearby but recently I have found that these structures were used in an area which had no airport in its vicinity. Could you please guide me with it?
Regards
PG
