Oh, you mean on the "layout":
PRRMP54,
I have been an electric power engineer for 37 years. Your top picture shows a wood arm burned through and a fused cutout, that should be attached to the arm, dangling off to the side. The phase conductor that is attached to our right end of that arm is in danger of coming loose and falling to the ground where someone could come in contact with it and be INJURED or KILLED. This is not a joke. If you know who the utility is that owns that pole please contact them immediately and get them to replace that arm! They should probably install new double wood arms at this location. Please believe me when I say this is a dangerous condition and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. It is an accident waiting to happen.
Chances are that’s why the photo was taken. My guess is that it was a news or social media photo revealing the damage.
Not sure where this photo came from. Hopefully not a copyrighted news website.
