| Claim: |
5. The electrical platform recited in claim 1, wherein the brace comprises a cable. |
| Claim: |
6. The electrical platform recited in claim 4, wherein the brace further comprises a cable extending from each end of the bi-directional fiction spring damper. |
| Claim: |
7. The electrical platform recited in claim 1, wherein each of the legs comprises at least one universal joint arranged at an end of each leg. |
| Claim: |
8. The electrical platform recited in claim 1, wherein each of the legs comprises a universal joint arranged at each end of each leg. |
| Claim: |
9. The electrical platform recited in claim 1, wherein each of the legs comprises an insulated column. |
| Claim: |
10. An electrical platform, comprising: a support structure for bearing electrical equipment; a plurality of insulated columns extending from the support structure; a brace, comprising a cable, extending between at least two of the plurality of legs; and a friction spring damper secured to the cable. |
| Claim: |

| Claim: |
12. The electrical platform recited in claim 10, wherein the brace further comprises at least one insulator arranged between each leg and the cable. |
| Claim: |
13. The electrical platform recited in claim 11, wherein the brace further comprises at least one insulator arranged between each leg and the cable. |
| Claim: |
14. The electrical platform recited in claim 13, wherein each of the legs comprises a universal joint arranged at each end of each leg. |
| Claim: |
15. The electrical platform recited in claim 14, further comprising a series capacitor bank arranged on the support structure. |
| Claim: |
16. An electrical platform, comprising: a support structure for bearing electrical equipment; a plurality of insulated columns extending from the support structure; a pulley secured an end of each of the insulated columns; a brace extending between at least two of the columns; the brace comprising: a first insulator segment extending from one of the columns; a first cable segment extending from the first insulator segment and around one of the pulleys; a second insulator segment extending from another of the columns; and a second cable segment extending from the second insulator segment and around another of the pulleys; and a friction spring damper connecting the first cable segment to the second cable segment between the two pulleys. |
| Claim: |
17. The electrical platform recited in claim 16, wherein the pulleys are secured at the top end of the columns. |
| Claim: |
18. The electrical platform recited in claim 17, wherein each insulator segment extends from a bottom of the respective column. |
| Claim: |
19. The electrical platform recited in claim 18, wherein each insulator segment extends toward a pulley on another column. |
| Claim: |
20. The electrical platform recited in claim 19, further comprising a series capacitor bank arranged on the support structure. |
