Does any want see a 550 kV vertical break disconnect switch vertically mounted (Insulator parallel to the ground)?

I'd be interested in seeing a picture to see if the deflection of the insulators is obvious to the naked eye. I would NOT want to see one on my system!

Southern States does not recommend mounting any type of disconnect switch vertically at 345 kV or higher.

I've seen pics from PG&E where the mount 245kv disconnects vertically. Never 345kv though off the top of my head, I'm sure it out there.

Directly from 30 kV to 0.4 kV? Or step down the voltage in stages, typically from 30 kV to 6 kV, then from 6 kV to 0.4 kV.
