HEPCO 69/7.2kV - Iroquois Falls, ON

07 Apr 2022 1 91
HEPCO (Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario), now part of Hydro-One. This pole is part of a heavy-duty "wishbone" line that goes for several miles and besides most of the insulators being replacements, remains mostly unmolested for the most part. This line might've been rebuilt at least once or so. There's another "wishbone" line w/o the underbuild that runs parallel across the road. 69kV for the transmission overbuild. The underbuild seems around 7,200V. Converted to Y at some point from assumed Δ. Note the glass pin-top on the left wire (converted to neutral). src: G00gle Maps

A rebuilt former sub-transmission line pole I think with the old iron braces. The pole has single-phase riser. You can also see the remainder of the old secondary rack below with two unused brown insulator spools.

No fiberglass, braceless crossarms, or poly yuks here! Good old classic CL&P with wood, steel, and porcelain from the 1950's-70's era with plenty of mud. Might've been 4800V delta at one time. Source: google maps

This construction could be from 1966-1980, which despite the spread of "sky glaze" insulators during that period, dark brown porcelain insulators were still used quite often.

A little taken-over by the vegetation! Here's a nice 1990's-era CL&P riser that feeds a McDonalds that was built in 1994. I really like this riser design. One of the last years CL&P used the white Chance bell insulators before fully switching the polymer strains. Source: Google Maps
