Braceless and wide braced single and dual beamed dead ends..............

my second such design................7th substation overall.

I have always liked these triangular suspension strain holders on the angle poles.....................

This line starts in Kennesaw as two separate delta pylons..............for maybe 1 mile. After that, the line becomes a double circuit and runs 20 or so miles..........................until it converts back to 2 separate delta pylons and continues on to PLANT BOWEN.

Calhoun, GA. This TVA transmission line crosses I-75 at least 3 times..............maybe 4 if I remember correctly.

SAWNEE used to brace some of it's steel "L" shaped cross arms.

This was formerly a 46kv line. Now, it's a distribution line.

This is the only such design that I've seen so far. I've counted at least 200 reclosers/scada switch poles with either dual or single fiberglass deadend arms. Also, since 2012, north metro Atlanta (Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow, Douglass and north Fulton counties0 have been exclusively putting deadends with fiberglass arms. They're starting to show up within the city limits of Atlanta. However, north of the north, west and northeast of the city, there's been at least 300 deadends to pop up with fiberglass arms................some even as far north as 90 miles away. It appears to be a standard or preference in those aforementioned areas.
