GEORGIA POWER vs. Coweta Fayette EMC

GEORGIA POWER vs. Coweta Fayette EMC
As you can see, ALL three circuits feature dual fiberglass deadend arms.............which are all BRACED. Also, you can see that all 3 pairs are different sizes. The georgia power circuit appears to be built to EMC specs, however the deadend strains are what GApwr uses.

Y'know, you can lop those Flickr URLs off starting at the in/ portion and it'll still work.

So Georgia Power is now using Hendrix insulators as well as those ugly braced fiber glass arms?

Not quite. Coweta Fayette uses the hendix insulators. Both utilities use SINGLE beam fiberglass deadends. Not only is is rare to use them in pairs.......it's even more shocking to see them braced. Because the Emc has done this before, I will go on record and say that all 3 circuits are EMC influenced. There's 4 other shared poles where all three cicuits (armless and wooden armed) were built to emc specs.
