Hope the tree didn't get into a SHOCKING experience!

I'm sure it did for a moment, before the " A " phase line tap fuse blew.

Does your utility use the vice top insulators?
lightboy1   [Sep 01, 2011 at 02:16 AM]
Not that I have seen.... Do you have any pics?
Antstar85   [Sep 01, 2011 at 02:18 AM]
Not at the moment, I'm on vacation in NH till Saturday but I have one at my house. I'll take a pic and post it for you.

What are vice top insulators?
Antstar85   [Sep 01, 2011 at 02:33 AM]
They are insulators that have a clamp that holds the wire, not tie wire like what national grid uses. NU only now uses vice top insulators on all there primary wire.

The pole in front of my house has two different trpes on it. It has a glossy button looking one like the one above exept white. The other one looks like stacked discs.
Antstar85   [Sep 01, 2011 at 02:40 AM]
Yep those stacked disc are polymer insulators and the button type are glass. Vice tops are polymer. Check out the 250 watt m-250a2 pic in my gallery and you'll see the 15kv vice tops on the pole.

Ok, thanks. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
