Xcel Energy 34.5kV

Xcel Energy 34.5kV
A riser pole that sticks out like a sore thumb. The pole has since changed to a very light pale grey/brown and Xcel has replaced all the bowl insulators seen here.

Makes me wonder if Minnesota Power has done anything with the bowl insulators they used on their 34.5kV lines.

I just hope that if they end up replacing the bowls that they don't switch to poly posts like Xcel. Of the two insulators that Xcel now uses on 34.5, I'd much prefer the porcelain posts.
