Three phase transformer bank

Two 4 kV circuits with deck mounted three phase transformer bank and box cutouts. Note the Westinghouse OV-25 Silverliner on old streetlight arm.

Old double circuit 4 kV with one circuit having lightning protection. Something used to tap off circuit on the left.

Another double circuit. Another circuit used to tap off the left side here, too. Light is a Westinghouse OV-25 Silverliner.

4 kV dead end pole with nice old streetlight arm. Light is a newer 400
watt HPS unit.

Double 4 kV circuit insulated by a dozen CD 252 Hemingray 62 insulators

Old transformer pole in residential area.

4 kV branch off the main double circuit in town. Another Westinghouse
OV-25 Silverliner is mounted on this pole.

This one is another CPUC 4 kV pole with two circuits, Hemingray 62s on the phases, and lightning arresters on the left circuit. You can see where something used to tap off the circuit on the left. There are also three open wire secondary services going to houses from this pole. (Fall 2003)

Three phase arm mounted transformer bank on another 4 kV pole in Cairo. One circuit feeds this bank, which is protected by cutouts. Insulators on top are newer skytone replacements. (Fall 2003)
