Multiple Choice

This piece of material is used to hold crossarms level.

Crossarm braces are what keep the crossarm level by providing a rigid connection between the crossarm and the pole. They form a triangular support that transfers the loads from the conductors and wind into the pole, preventing the crossarm from sagging or tilting. This keeps the insulators and conductors properly aligned across the span. Pole straps secure the assembly to the pole, insulator strings hold the insulators, and wedge clamps secure components but don’t primarily control the crossarm’s level.
