I wonder what voltage those lines are.
streetlight98   [Sep 21, 2011 at 09:20 PM]
I'm going to guess 55,000 volts. just a guess.
gailgrove   [Sep 21, 2011 at 09:31 PM]
No way! Maybe 14 kV, that would be my guess.
Form109   [Sep 21, 2011 at 09:41 PM]
14 KV would be my Guess as well.
Antstar85   [Sep 21, 2011 at 09:46 PM]
23kv to be exact.

I meant 15,000 volts Embarrassed I don't know much about insulators. i'm more into light wiring than other electrical wiring.

wow 23 Kv?...seems high for a Distribution Line.

*UPDATE* upon arriving here this morning on my vacation here in New Hampshire, I've noticed this light has been replaced with a 250 watt HPS M-250R2. Updated photo to come.

Mad IMO, why not wait until they switch to LEDs? I mean, the LED changeover is already beginning in some places. You figure the HPS takeover started in the 70s and really took off in the 90s and sorta wrapped up in the mid 2000s so the LED changeover is starting in the 2010s and will probably really take off in the 2030s and will probably wrap up in the mid 2040s. Neutral of course that doesn't mean every light will be replaced by LED since not every light today hase been replaced by HPS but the major mass-replacements have ultimatly died down.


BTW, i heard the last 400W MV GE fixtures really had MH ballasts. Shocked not sure about the others or how true it is...
