I like the adventures, I have visited the wild east.. Ukraine is the real wild east where the corruption works everywhere, the cigarette and the alcohol is very cheap and the power constructions are very old or there is used old technologies.
The border crossing is interesting and long, I had to fill up lot of papers, I had to give 200 HUF ($1.35) bankotes to each Ukrainen guards and officers by corruption, our customs search everyehere the cigarettes, they very inspected all part of my car, we sit on the borer 4 hours in the huge hot weather on the sun but the experiences are great,
I have seen interesting stuff and we have found some very interesting Insulators. When I pass the bortder line, I find myself on an another world, I have felt myself in Russia.. There the poorness is very big, and the big black cars are above the laws because the money is stronger than the law there, we had to look after ourself well. On evry county limits are check points with an officer, he asks passports a banknote too. Our trip target was
a memorial statue in the Verecke Pass in the Carpathian mountains, there came in the first Hungarian people with prince Arpad and the 7 chiefs into the basin at 1118 years ago, it was beautiful. I show here some pictures from the Ukrainen constructions.
10 kV poles. There are porcelain Deltas, CD 638.5s, CD 304.5s, and the porcelain versions of these glass Insulators.
10/0,4 kV transformers. It is very interesting consruction, the transformer in on the groung, somewhere the transformers don't have strain Insulators, the wire goes onto the bushing Insulators. Every transformers have pins for the secondary circuit's strains.
Thelephone poles. They has American construction, porcelain Insulators only. Some poles have under hook pins, there are not side pins, only iron hook pins or small iron crossarms.
Telephone and 0,4 kV ditributor pole. There are porcelains mostly, but there are different old Insulators, German Stripers, Polish Triple-Groovers, CD-540s, CD-541s.
400 kV line goes to Slovakia. It is a full concrete pole, weird..
750 kV line, goes to Hungary. This is interesting pole too..
400 kV border crossing from the Hungarian side. The trio pole is in Hungary, the next one in Ukraine. Sajószöged-Munkács 400 kV line.
Finds in Ukraine. Nice... I am going to go back, hopind in interesting Insulators. Transcharpathians county has rich historical past such Silesia in South Polad, the Insulators are mixed there: Hungarian, Czech, Russian, German.
