Hi Chuck,
I haven't checked any references, but I would offer this. The large, bare
high voltage cable lies in a trough in the top of the insulator. The small
wire binds the HV cable to the insulator, but it is wound out in such a way
that the large cable can slide enough to relieve stresses from pole warpage,
etc. That's my best guess.
The primary objective is to attach the large cable without causing any
stress concentrations in the cable.
