69-kV Single Arm with Bayonet for OWG
This former Missouri Public Service 69-kV single crossarm shielded circuit parallels I-70 west of Higginsville, Missouri. Portions of the line were outfitted with three-part Ohio Brass 69-kV pin-type ANSI gray insulators, while a number of Lapp ANSI brown chocolate post insulators are used on other portions of the line. Note that the bayonet is used for shielding and was added at a later time. Below the offset single arm line is a 12.47-kV distribution feeder underbuild to serve nearby farms along the path of this line. It can be reached by a northern service road paralleling I-70. This line was originally built and operated by Missouri Public Service Company. Unfortunately, today it is part of KCP&L.
