Abstract
A method of stringing a bundle of cables from a suspension bracket suspended from a tower cross arm by insulator strings includes securing a temporary connection along at least a part of one of the strings to provide a temporary suspension connection which enables the string to be uncoupled, so that one of the cables can be passed through the uncoupled string. The string is then recoupled and the temporary connection is removed to allow the conductor to be secured to the suspension bracket. This method enables one or more cables to be secured above the suspension bracket for reducing the voltage gradient across the lowermost insulators of the strings.
