Hey Everyone!
We used to call closing a line in with intent of looking for a fault "smoke testing". We're no longer allowed to use this method, however often times a fault cannot be found and line stays closed in. The cause ultimately remains a mystery... usually it was a small animal that got that turned into a predators lunch. Whenever I'm in that situation, I'll roll the camera incase we catch a flash and can use it to help guide us in the right direction.
In this case, we has approx. 50 poles back lot. Our patrol didn't reveal any problems. To climb each and every pole and get a closer look wouldn't be reasonable. I focused on this location after talking to a customer down the road that saw a flash in the horizon. The entire sideline opened as opposed to the cutout at the transformer. I suspect a dead animal was sitting on top of the can before the blast.
Transformer was replaced.
Be safe out there everyone! 👊🍻
