Wide angle shot of two CD 230 Hemingray 512 glass insulators and a U399-B porcelain loop insulator on an old pole using series street lighting circuits in Bluffton, Indiana.

Here is a shot of the other U399-B loop insulator in service. www.ipernity.com/doc/314471/27241593

I wonder what voltage this is - is it 4.16kV Y? I'm trying to figure out where the neutral would be at.

Thanks! I Don't know anything about the voltage of certain lines. I guess you can call me voltage illiterate, lol.

Nice. If I remember right, the CD 230 was rated for 6600V max. And nice to find one of the U-399 series 'loop' insulators doing its intended job.

Thanks! I know there were three of the loop insulators in service in Bluffton, however, I was to late to shoot one of them. You can still see all three in service on Google street view.
