The above Thermogram is of a 12KV Knife Switch Disconnect. No, it's not the sun you see in the clouds!! It's actually one of the Knives heating up to an outstanding 450 Deg. C!!
This dangerous condition was located in the middle of a busy town with hundreds of people walking by and under this pole every hour.
When the Power Company came to repair this problem, The Connection actually crumbled in their hands as soon as it was touched.
If this problem had not been caught in time as it did, It could have seriously injured or even killed pedestrians.
