Anyone know what the vertical things are? One blew up last night at our local substation (short to ground)...........hellofa noise...big debris field.

The chunck on the ground is an insolator.

That's a ceramic material and thick. I have a pic someplace of a 8"x 8" piece stuck into a wire impregnated window. I'll see if I can find some pics.

That’s is a PT ,
Potential transformer , they take the high voltage , and reduce to to 120 volts for relay protection , and other types of metering , looks like 230, or 500 kv

Looks like a CCVT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_voltage_transformer

Yes sorry ccvt , current coupling voltage transformer , they still do what a pt does In a way with changing the ratio of the voltage and current

Thats a CCVT, which is used for metering data. Helps in the accounting / selling/ buying of energy.

I just got back from the substation.........this is exactly what the power company peeps tell me. Also was told the "explosion" is sorta suspicious................
