Different types of High Voltage Insulators

Electricity generated is transmitted to the end-users through overhead transmission lines operating at a very High Voltage (HV) level. Most of the transmission towers carrying these HV lines are made up of metallic materials. Ever wondered why one doesn’t get electrocuted despite touching the metal poles? Why is there no short circuit between different wires having physical contact at the poles?
