TL;DR: Inserters are powered from power pole that seems to be unconnected.

What: I'm sure there have been changes since these inserters and poles were placed but when in the area I noticed there was no wire connecting the subject two poles to the grid at this time yet the inserters are running.

Expected: a visible wire connecting these poles to the grid and power statistics in the Electric Network info screen.

Not a bug. Inserters are in range of substations.

Instead of looking at the connections, hover over the inserter and see what power poles/substations are highlighted. It'll highlight any pole that's giving the inserter power.

Thanks, I sure feel silly.
My mind must have wandered.
