These are some of my favorite designs

Yesterday in the desert between El Paso and Las Cruces I found this insulator. Broken pieces are fairly commom, but full sized ones that are intact are rare.

This line has become quite the leaner line.

I'm guessing another quick hurricane repair because of the extremely wide crosssarm.

I left work in Rancho Cordova and headed straight to Julie's house, she lives...technically in Galt...so I went the back way, all the way down Sunrise to Grantline...as you may expect I got stuck in a wee bit of traffic, so from my car, I shot a couple sunset shots... Not bad if I do say so myself, from my car no less :o)

More lines with those things on top of the middle insulator.

This substation was completed two years ago. It is about a mile away from the city power plant.

Went shopping again...house is starting to look like a flat

See my review at Cameralabs.

I'm only guessing, but I would guess 12KV.

Looks like they changed crossarms and finally fixed the lean on these poles, although there are no brace poles or new guy wires. Many of the old insulators were reused on the new arms

Built to power the walmart distribution center.

This is an older pole. It seems when the lines were upgraded the crossarms were kept but the narrow braces were replaced with wide ones.

This class of 7 and 8 year olds are studying electricity. These pylons will maybe become a thing of the past soon.
