Here you can see the original pole (left) with old transformer and uninsulated jumper wires lying close together vs the retrofitted pole (right) having new transformer with upright insulators and widely spaced insulated jumper wires, composite spikes on top of the steel crossbar and bird diverters clipped onto the energised live lines all to deter perching and keep birds safe.
