A pole mounted recloser unit on an overhead electricity power line in rural Great Britain. The recloser unit is provided to break a circuit if a temporary earth fault occurs, for example if a tree branch contacts the conductor. When the fault ends, the recloser unit recloses the circuit to maintain the power supply.
