    Could be something they done temporarily, maybe?

    Both towers look to be raked away from the strain, pulled back pretty good with the down guys, same seems to be true on the next set a span away. Looks to be bundled 230 to me but may be 115. There's a circuit above and perpendicular to it, I don't think it's temporary. IMHO it's built that way for clearance between the 2 circuits.....

    Thats some ugly sh!t on that pole!!!!!

    I've never seen reclosures built in that configuration......

    Seen a bunch built like that on Progress energy lines now Duke, a solid blade in and a solid blade out of the recloser and a fuse door to by-pass it with in the middle of the 2 solid blades.

    In the late eighties Northeast Utilities bought some of those, there was some kind of deal if you bought a certain number, 4 or 5 you got into some kind of mutual aid agreement so if you lost more structures than you had others in the group would share theirs with you. They were designed to go up relatively quick with a lot of interchangeable parts. We were supposed to practice putting them up every so often after the first couple of years that sorta stopped then pieces started to disappear { because the prices of aluminum got pretty high } they finally realized they didn't have enough fittings and small parts to put them together so I think they junked the whole pile a few years ago. Like a big erector set with all the engineering for strains and clearances figured out beforehand.
