The bottom circuit was upgraded in 1992 and the top upgraded in 1999 so not many of these poles have the original crossarms though few poles were actually changed.
Entergy concrete pole. Here in Louisiana it's not too often that Entergy uses that alternating design with the 69KV lines. However, in Texas this design is quite common as all of the old wooden crossarms have been replaced with insulators such as these.
Whereas the Lincoln Electric System had 34.5-kv subtransmission lines and 4160-volt distribution lines, OPPD had 69-kv subtransmission lines and 13.8-kv distribution lines. Looking south on 30th Street in Bellevue, Nebraska.
We hiked up a hill to where a powerline was situated. These powerlines are 120kv and soar above the road and hill. Standing beneath them, hearing the occasional crackling and buzzing, gives an eerie feeling.
Looks like the other side of the crossarm broke at one point. The insulator was moved over and the broken part cut off.
Black and White photo enhanced with an Infra Red filter in pprocessing. Thought I would try this after encountering Latent_C (flickr photographer) whilst walking in the bush yesterday. The high transmission powerlines cut through several bushy areas in South East Melbourne. This lot have plenty of space kept clear underneath.
