a recloser is basically a Circuit Breaker...if a Fault appears on the Line the recloser will open....if the fault has cleared then the circuit will resume normal activity...if the Fault has not cleared then it will open and close until it has exausted a pre programed amount of attempts to clear the fault...at this point the recloser then has to be reset manually.

nope....i just know alot about Electrical Equipment....all the Reclosers in my Area Are Square...at least the oil Filled ones...Reclosers with Gas Fillings or a Vaccum are often more compact and rounded like....the lighting in the Video is not all that Great...and im absolutely sure this thing has probably been replaced...even so i still put my bets on it being a Recloser..the two are like Night and Day.

Hey you're right down the road from me...sorta lol. I'm in West Haven, CT. Last year some idiot ran into a pole and it cut off power from the post road down to dogwood rd. Couldn't make dinner or breakfast and almost had to shower in the dark if it weren't for candles.

Correct me if I;m wrong, but they tend to take more risks with the placing of powerlines on the US. In the UK we seem to have a lot stricter rules. From what I see on youtube, a lot of trees get awfully close and short circuit.....this really doesn't happen at all much in the UK as our health and safety rules ensure trees are nowhere near powerlines.

Is it the perspective from the video, or is that pole also dangerously close to that roof?

The United Illuminating Company replaced the recloser today. The area has been relying on another recloser further up the line on Pond Point Avenue since last year when the one in this video was destroyed. And, yes, it is a recloser - not a transformer.
