According to definitions below, even it's not seen from aerial imagery,
insulators can be seen from the ground

(2) I have no idea what "insulated suspension" is,

According to IEC 466-11-09, a suspension clamp is a kind of conductor
attachment to a support, usually a tower
http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=466-11-09

Those suspension are insulated with bare wires as to prevent the power line
to be in touch with the ground through the tower.


Regarding the vote, I proposed a tiny arrangement : rename insulated=yes/no
to insulation=yes/no/whatever to be able to use it more often
How about this ?

François
