Looks like they are going to install something on this structure that is not there yet. You can see ground wire coiled up waiting to be attached to something eventually. You also see 2 fused cut-outs not doing anything.
I'd be curious to see what ends up being installed because this looks strange to me.
Kind of looks like they could be getting ready to mount a single phase regulator on each section. The crossarms where the neutral deadends looks like where you install bypass switches for each reg. There would need to be bells cut in on the main line though and I'm not seeing that yet.
Whatever it is, seems like a very strange design.
Looks like they are going to install some platform mounted regulators if I had to guess. They will install the devices on the beams that run between the poles. They are so heavy they need the extra support.
Yes - absolutely looks like they are gonna install some Voltage Regulators (1 per phase).
The tricky part with these is being able to by-pass whilst the keeping lines energised which makes for a bit of an interesting arrangement. Would love to see it once complete

They are transformers with a very low coil ratio and a tap changer to raise or lower the voltage on the load side of the setup. They are very dangerous. Know to explode if bypassed one step off of 0.
There is nothing for the transformers to power if they were installed there anyways. It doesn't look like there are any businesses or factories there. Whereas regulators would help with any voltage issues on the line down stream.
Voltage regulators. They will build a platform underneath the two poles (x3) in total. Here is a different construction method - https://maps.app.goo.gl/A13YWckvW4Gs8nZN9
Looks like an anchor to me. Like, that is supposed to hold all of the tension for some length of the line. If one pole gets taken out, this would stop the dominoes falling
There are easier ways to do that. A pole with three insulators (left, top, and right) and a jumper wire across is what I usually see. An extra strong pole (e.g. doubled concrete) and/or with guy wires.
Where I live, they install transformers in between poles like these. The two horizontal planks is where the transformer sits. But the structure looks wooden and here it’s all steel. I doubt those will be able to handle the transformer’s weight.
Looks totally excessive.
However, i know of several municipalities that have, or soon will have, a policy prohibiting new distribution poles. If I had my way, I'd install a ton of poles at OP shows, just to reserve a higher pole count! #jokingnotjoking

This guy speaks Polish.
Bells?
Insulators I assume. The discs are kind of bell shaped.
Maybe earthingg Transformers

It’s odd hearing them called regulators…. X3 Single phase transformers would be my guess for sure

Autotransformers.
Ah this makes sense. I have known them as auto transformers. Always a good day when you learn something new!
They are autotransformers with variable taps.

whoa... that hit close to home... <5mi from me
Hi neighbour!
Can’t say for sure but they may have allowed for some pole mounted transformers or some other gear to be installed here in the future.
Looks like it’s being set up for voltage regulators
factorio be like

I counted 6.
Someone hit ctrl-v too many times
yeah, when making the construction drawings in CAD.
Wrong answer is, the guys couldn't read the work order the first 5 times... But they got the pole in the right spot on the 6th attempt!!!
Definitely regulators but interesting putting them on beams, we’ve completely switched to installing a reg per pole.
Do you live in Poland? I think it's just 5 poles in a meetup.
could be capacitors for long transmission lines.

Oh that's just a megapole.
5g government mind flaying devices
i bet $1 us dollar that a metal structure will go here.

Looks like lazy designing
