Bjarney,
I agree that there is a fair bit of gear on this pole.
You should see some of the silly gear we have here on our poles here.
There is a pole up in Cairnbrae, (a district here), that has: (get this)
  • A bank of PFC capacitors for the 22kV lines on top.
  • A backup Alternator in a Container feeding an Essential Supply (local Abalone farm) up the road from this pole.
  • A remote control ABS at the top of the pole, to disconnect the 33kV lines for sectionalising purposes.
  • An 11kV pole mounted Transformer, w/ 3 DDO fuses to supply the local water supply pump for the irrigation system.
  • The 22 and 11kV lines have DDO's for isolating faults on the lines on the Ring in the large block that this circuit feeds.

There is talk of more gear going on in this area.
I just hope that it isn't going to be on the same pole.
There is not even a street-light on it.
In the few times I have been called there I have only had the spot light on my Faults Truck to work by.
Glad I use a Hotstick and not have to climb that one!. [Linked Image]
