Otter Tail Power - Otter Tail County, MN
The route I took heading to my insulator club's swap meet at Nisswa took me down a county road that happened to carry a long 7200V line out of the rural sub near Dayton Hollow. I now see why the main transformer was so big! Anyway, this was a real surprise to find! One, Westinghouse transformers are rare on Otter Tail, two, this was a 7200V unit, third, there was a second one not far away!

Excellent find! Is this a 7.2 kV ungrounded single phase line?

It's a regular grounded 7200V line, but it could well have started as a 2400V ungrounded line as it's not far from Dayton Hollow Dam.
