Abstract: An organic composite electrical insulator system includes one or more modular ethylene propylene copolymer elastomeric molded insulators or sheds bonded by a thin line bond to an epoxy or polyester resin bonded fiberglass structural member. In one embodiment, the organic composite insulator system may take the form of a suspension insulator used to support a high voltage power cable from a transmission tower. The suspension insulator includes a pair of metallic end connectors mechanically attached to opposite longitudinal ends of an elongated polyester resin bonded fiberglass core rod. The space between the end connectors along the rod is filled with a plurality of modular ethylene propylene elastomeric molded insulators or sheds having inner diameters smaller than the outside diameter of the rod in order to obtain a slip fit and thereby compressively load the interface surfaces between the sheds and the rod during the manufacture of the rod.
