What’s Wrong with These Pictures? Severe Lightning Strike takes out Utility Arrester in a Very Lightning Prone Area. Also Damages Xfmr (Pot), Requiring Replacement; but, No Damage to Controller! Some Time Later on a Car Hits Another Pole Down the Alley and Causes a High Line (2.3 Kv) Cross to the Neutral which Takes Out Most of the Pump Room Loads and Damages one of the 3 CPTs in Controller.
